I'm saying if the Director's Guild decides to go nuclear over this, they could simply refuse to make films for WB anymore which will hurt Netflix. Nolan and the rest of the directors are hyper focused on keeping the theater experience alive for obvious reasons. And given that Nolan's 2026 film is already pre-ordered and sold out in theaters, he's got the juice to swing his nuts around on this.
That Del Toro Frankenstein film is a perfect example of how this will go. The film was largely shot with practical effects, real sets, expensive cameras, etc. Then Netflix got a hold of it and slapped their bullshyt color grading on it, making it look fake and ugly. Then they limited the theater release. Now it's stuck on Netflix, won't get a Blu Ray release, and the minute Netflix needs to cut costs they'll simply remove it from the library so no one can see it lol. Why would any director willingly sign up for that, besides money?
When has Netflix ever removed a movie they owned?
Lowkey its a bunch of HBO stans (streaming stans is wild) salty
They talked all that shyt about netflix being in trouble with big bad HBOmax coming lol
Even thought Disney had the juice lol
Now look hbo and disney apps aint shyt

Do a movie need to be in theaters for 4 months?
It's day one and this is what they're saying. It's over.
I went to predator 2nd week. No one was in there
Went to see Wicked 2nd week its barely anyone in there.
So i can imagine 3 months from now

He's right. The theater going experience is an anachronism being upheld by nostalgia.
Man when is the last time antitrust did its job?
It ain't like we don't have current monopolies already

There are over 200 of them that have been removed or erased, take your pick after looking it up. Most of Netflix's originals are some type of partnership with a studio, where they purchase rights in order to show it exclusively - and prevent it from getting a theatrical release. All the streamers buy up films or shows they think will become big critical hits, win awards, etc. House Of Cards is a Netflix original but technically was done via partnership with Sony. Same with Orange Is The New Black. Those are their two most iconic/important shows.
My point is that this is now like getting the wolf to watch the hen house. You remove WB films from theaters while simultaneously buying up rights to non-WB films to keep them out of theaters too.
If its a partnership than its not owned outright by Netflix.
I never heard a Netflix owned show being removed
How long is good enough for a movie to be outside according to Piff?
That's not true. People still love the theater experience. They just don't like the movies that are out now
And the barbarians that watch ESPN highlights or makeup tutorials while the movie is playing...
Though it has gotten better...

The vast majority of their original films, which feature the "N" on them, are partnerships lol.
Just admit you don't know what you're talking about man. This is how Netflix operates. It's how many of the other streamers operate. So unless you want to argue House Of Cards isn't an original Netflix show then just move on to your next argument man.
