Netflix’s best movies deserve more time on the big screen

Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations — the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film’s premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won’t get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all. Wake Up Dead Man isn’t alone. Netflix was very pr

‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ To Debut in Theaters Before Netflix

As anticipation grows for the third installment in Rian Johnson‘s Knives Out murder mystery series, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Netflix has revealed that the upcoming film will have a limited theatrical release before it premieres on the streamer. According to Variety, Wake Up Dead Man will have a two-week run in select theaters across the U.S., starting on November 26 until December 12—the day the film premieres on Netflix. The movie stars former James Bond actor Daniel Craig, who

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance. It was more of a thank you to the fans who st

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000? If we look back at Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, another major film to get a similar t

Gen-Z’s Social Media Addiction May Have Ironically Led to an Indie Cinema Revival

During the pandemic, movie theaters notably struggled, as social distancing restrictions all but temporarily killed their business model. Many smaller, independent theaters went out of business permanently. However, since the pandemic has ebbed, the film industry has slowly recovered. Attendance in theaters is not exactly where it was prior to the pandemic, but attendance is significantly higher than it was during Covid, and continues to climb. A new article published by The Guardian suggests t

Electronic Arts blocks more than 300,000 attempts to cheat after launching Battlefield 6 beta

Games giant Electronic Arts launched an open beta over the weekend for its upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 6 and — almost immediately — the game was swamped with cheaters. Soon after the game’s launch, countless players complained online about encountering cheaters. In response, a member of Electronic Arts’ anti-cheat team, who goes by AC, wrote in an official forum that the company saw players report 104,000 “instances of potential cheaters” over the first two days of the game’s bein

To better protect against cheaters, Activision says that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 players on PC will need to use hardware with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and have Windows’ Secure Boot feature turned on when the game is available later this year. Ahead of that, Activision is doing

‘Batman’ and ‘Casper’ Are Coming Back to Theaters

This fall, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is coming back to theaters, and they won’t be alone. In the weeks and months ahead, fellow re-releases will include Tim Burton’s Batman duology and 1995’s Casper. In the former’s case, both 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns will be a special, one-night event on August 25. Over 160 Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters locations will play the two movies, and it looks like AMC’s putting enough enough distance between them for you to watch them in one go. A

‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet. And yet, if you head over to a site like Fandango, there they ar
