Strange Things Are Happening Between Netflix and Movie Theaters

I was really surprised to read that Netflix’s creative chief, Bela Bajaria, didn’t think showing shows in theaters was necessary. She seemed confident that Stranger Things thriving only on streaming proved it didn’t need extra buzz or a community built around shared experiences. But things seem to be changing! It turns out that interview was done a while ago, and Puck reported just this week that Netflix and AMC are actually working together now, showing KPop Demon Hunters in AMC theaters. Apparently, they hadn’t finalized the deal when they spoke to Variety for that profile, so Bejaria hadn’t been able to share the news yet. I’ve reached out to both Netflix and AMC to see if they’ll confirm everything.
