Netflix and movie theaters are finally playing nice — and all it took was a global pandemic to turn these antagonists into friends.
The streaming service’s upcoming zombie thriller, the Zack Snyder-directed “Army of the Dead,” will play exclusively in cinemas starting on May 14 for one week prior to its Netflix release on May 21.
Notably, Cinemark, one of the country’s biggest theater chains, has agreed to screen the movie. It is booked at 200 Cinemark locations, making “Army of the Dead” the first Netflix film to score a wide release at a major theater chain. The movie will play at roughly 600 theaters in total, including iPic, Landmark, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins and Cinépolis. Other major circuits, specifically AMC and Regal, will not be offering the film.
Without AMC and Regal screens, “Army of the Dead” will have a much smaller footprint than recent hits like “Godzilla vs. Kong” and Bob Odenkirk’s “Nobody.
