DL: Netflix acquires Mowgli [JNGBO] from WB for 2019 streaming release Antibody Jul 27, 09:48

Great pickup - spend them Benjamins! {nm} RollingThunder Jul 27, 09:50

Has to be at least a $100 million rights deal (Cloverfield Paradox was 50 million). {nm} notfabio Jul 27, 10:00

if the movie was any good, hard to see WB dumping it like this, even for $100m+ (Disney's JB made nearly $1B worldwide) {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 27, 21:26

Who'll move to 10/26? Maybe OVRLD for Halloween crowd. {nm} Antibody Jul 27, 10:02

IMAX is giving FIRST MAN the Gravity/Chris Nolan style extended window, Paramount moved OVERLORD to 11/9 in part to get the one week run. {nm} notfabio Jul 27, 10:23

Doh, I forgot OVRLD just moved out of that date. {nm} Antibody Jul 27, 10:24

Wow. What an enormous disappointment. I was truly looking forward to this one in IMAX. Intrigued in Serkis as a director. What a shame. Goodvibe61 Jul 27, 10:07

Was it ever scehduled for IMAX? {nm} Antibody Jul 27, 10:13

Yes, it was part of WB's IMAX slate agreement (but the release date change allowed IMAX to bow out) {nm} notfabio Jul 27, 10:20

The article claims that a 3D theatrical release was part of the Netflix agreement but could just be IPIC/4-walled limited. notfabio Jul 27, 10:42

It's Netflix; there's not going to be a theatrical distribution. Obviously WB sold this off as a loser. I guess being first is everything. Goodvibe61 Jul 27, 14:51

Oh they definitely are cutting their losses to avoid another PAN. {nm} notfabio Jul 27, 16:36

Coming soon to Apple Watches everywhere WORLD WIDE! {nm} Goodvibe61 Jul 27, 14:46

Just seeing this now after it’s down $36 today already. Wow. This is like FB on HSX. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 27, 21:17
