This is listed as an original movie in future Netflix releases, but without a date yet: https://www.netflix.com/title/80200642

 

Do we know if Warner/New Line sold the international rights to them? I searched everywhere and couldn't find an article mentioning it.

 

I'll be honest; to me, releasing this only in domestic theaters while giving Netflix the international rights is probably a great move, because I feel like this is the type of film where it's exponentially more plausible to market this in America and Canada than it is to market it in foreign countries, kind of like the way it is for foreign films in America.

Now opening a day earlier (Wednesday, February 13).

I'd have thought they'd also try and release it theatrically in India as well considering Priyanka's starpower there.

Ugh. My response to that movie:

Making this a Netflix Movie overseas is just so frustrating. So here's, finally, a very well received trailer for a woman centered movie, a genre, that nearly died, and they keep it out of theatres instead of using it, bringing audiences back.

 

I sincerly hope, that one day, studios understand and regret all their faults and self-fulfilling prophecies.

huh? actually if the movie is good (birdbox) the movie will be more popular/talked about than if it comes on theatres

To be fair, this probably wasn’t gonna make much of anything overseas aside from Rebel Wilson’s home country.

One movie talked about, out of the dozens Netflix releases every year.

Because 95% of their movies are awful. But actual 'hollywood' movies like annihilation get talked about more than if they came out in theatres and did ok

And how does a Netflix success help the Movie/Cinema-Industry in any case?

All a Netflix success does is set peoples bar of expectations lower and makes them forget the magic, a big screen still provides. 

 

Cinema makes Comedy a much better experience, it should always be shown for a room full of people.

Priyanka has star power in India.

Problem is people aren't going out to comedies like they used to even if they're good.

She has an extensive resume of Bollywood films, doesn't she? Doesn't that speak to her starpower there? Or am I missing something?

I feel pretty did pretty ok OS to be honest, its just that most comedians are pretty local to the USA and dont interest overseas at all (will ferrell, melissa mcarthy, kevin hart, tina fey, amy poehler, haddish...)

 

comedians back then (jim carrey, will smith, eddy murphy, robin williams) were global stars

That speak of her filmography not star power. Star power is her ability to sell those movies which she has almost nothing now. She had some in early 2010s nothing now. 

 

Her next if any won't open to ₹1cr ($140k) even if doesn't have strong male lead.

 

I have some disagreement but this is general idea of Top Hindi industry star in India, she ain't in Top 20.

Even Stateside, studio comedies don't seem to be doing the blockbuster business the past couple of years like they used to.

Well, Priyanka certainly enjoys playing the PR game. 😆

That's only thing she is capable of doing. She had a big film this year Bharat starring Salman Khan but she "apparently" dumped it for Cowboy Ninja Viking, which is "apparently" delayed. Basically it's sunset for her.
