>Though the share may appear small, the number speaks quite loudly when examined closely as the film opened on only 94 screens across the country for a total 324 showings. There are a total 2,575 screens in South Korea as of 2016, according to the Korean Film Council.
>Okja debuted on about one-tenth the number of screens of the three higher-ranking films, which are all handled by major Korean distributors that also own the country's largest theater chains.
>The limited distribution is due to how the country's three major cinemas, CJ CGV, Lotte Cinema and Megabox, which are each sister companies of top distributors, refused to show Okja over Netflix's policy of no hold-back time. In South Korea, films are released on streaming platforms about three weeks after their big-screen release. Though the film directed by one of the country's most beloved auteurs enjoyed high critical praise, Okja had also stirred up debates on "death of cinema" when it premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Is Netflix retarded? Why didn't they just wait a month or two letting okja rake in cash in theaters?

They probably only had screenings to qualify as a theatrical release for awards purposes. They did the same thing with Beasts of No Nation.

Because they have a specific plan to push streaming cinema and not support theaters or studios

Okja is fucking great

It's politics. Netflix is trying to throw their weight around and see what they can get away with. The distribs are pushing back. They'll all land somewhere in the middle, and someone will "lose" and make a slightly-smaller ridiculous pile of money than they wanted to.

No one is making you buy the overpriced food and drinks, why do you even have to eat or drink while watching?
And if you really that much degenerate that you have to shove food and soda down your throat to be able to enjoy a film then I'm pretty sure you can just sneak whatever food from outside without anyone caring at all.
And I don't know about you, but I don't have a 2 ton IMAX analog projector along with the 98 feet high screen right at my home or a living room with perfect acoustic treatment and a sound system with multi-thousand watt amplifiers and speakers even behind the screen which has microscopic holes throughout for the sound to get through.

Do you work at a theater?

I'm seeing this tonight in theatres. I don't get it either.

Best movie of the year so far. Totally fine with me if Netflix kills the theater industry by continuing to release movies of this caliber.

I thought thats why beast of no nations got snubbed, because they didn't.
