Netflix Won’t Partner With Filmmakers Demanding Theatrical-Only Releases

Dan Lin, Netflix’s film chief, told The New York Times that the streamer will not work with filmmakers who insist on traditional theatrical windows, calling Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film an exception after it received a wide theatrical release before streaming. Lin, who joined Netflix in 2024, says the company aims to spend less on more, higher‑quality movies and to focus on comedies and book adaptations, with Narnia marking Netflix’s first sanctioned wide theatrical release for a Netflix title (the film’s window was adjusted to Feb. 12, 2027 in theaters and to streaming on Apr. 2, 2027). The stance reflects Netflix’s evolving approach to theatrical windows, balancing selective cinema runs with the streaming rollout for other titles.

Netflix Won’t Partner With Directors Who Demand Theatrical Releases, Lin Says

Netflix’s film chief Dan Lin bluntly says the streamer will not work with filmmakers who insist on traditional theatrical releases, underscoring Netflix’s streaming-first posture even as it makes selective theatrical plays (such as Greta Gerwig’s project and David Fincher’s titles). The stance marks a contrast with past Netflix leaders and highlights a nuanced approach: Netflix will still occasionally partner with theaters, but Lin’s comments indicate a hard line for directors who prioritize cinema-only debuts.

Luxurious Ancient Roman Winery Unearthed at Villa of the Quintilli.

An opulent winery dating back to the mid-third century was discovered near Rome, which was made to give the Roman elite a theatrical experience of watching the winemaking process. The winery has two presses, a vat for the collection of grape must, a marble grape-treading area, channels that connect to storage jars, and a wine cellar. The site is located at the Villa of the Quintilii, which is located southeast of Rome on the ancient Appian Way and is open to the public.
