Longer theatrical runs herald a potential shift in the Netflix strategy as it reveals dozens and dozens of films leading into early 2023.
Netflix has announced a swathe of films that will release on its streaming platform between now and early January, 2023. Whatās more, lots of them will be getting decent theatrical runs in the US as well, which hopefully means weāll get the same treatment here.
The full list is below but some of the standouts include Scott Cooperās take on Edgar Allen Poe,
The Pale Blue Eye, Noah Baumbachās
White Noise and Paul Feigās
The School For Good And Evil, although it doesnāt currently look like the latter will be getting a theatrical release.
Matilda: The Musical, Enola Holmes 2 and Guillermo del Toroās
Pinocchio are also inbound, although sadly without cinema releases, it seems. This list may yet change though as weād heard that Rian Johnsonās
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery was getting a cinema release which seems not to be the case according to this list.
Regardless, thereāll be something here for everybody and Netflixās growing shift towards theatrical releases continues to be something to celebrate. Have a look below and get ready to add a few movies to your soon-to-watch list.
