Guillermo del Toro Says ‘There’s No Substitute’ for Going to the Movie Theater

Netflix recently announced it plans to keep releasing some Warner Bros. films in theaters, but this has been met with doubt, considering comments made by co-CEO Ted Sarandos. He previously questioned the value of releasing films specifically for the theatrical experience, suggesting it doesn’t appeal to most people. Interestingly, director Guillermo del Toro recently expressed gratitude to an IMAX audience in London for seeing his latest film, Frankenstein, even though it’s also available to stream on Netflix. He emphasized that seeing a film in a theater is a unique experience. When asked about whether Netflix’s deal with Warner Bros. could harm movie theaters, del Toro said it’s too soon to know.
