Also, this purchase would not impact Netflix’s existing relationships with chains like IPIC or Landmark Theatres that play the service’s films.
Netflix and American Cinematheque look at this potential purchase as a partnership that would establish a mutually beneficial relationship.
Netflix would screen its films on weekday nights, as well as have special screenings and events for its bigger titles.
American Cinematheque would retain the freedom to play what it wants, while getting the financial support to continue running screenings, lectures and festivals on weekends.
