You’ll recall that earlier this year, after Universal Pictures decided to simultaneously release Trolls World Tour in theaters and on VOD, AMC Theatres threatened not to screen anymore Universal movies if the studio kept going with this same date release model.
Months later, Universal and AMC buried the proverbial hatchet and arranged a deal that shortened the minimum exclusive theatrical window for Universal movies in AMC theaters from 90 days to just 17 days, and AMC would receive a share of the PVOD sales.
However, that’s not to say that Adam Aron didn’t offer any advice to Disney while speaking with Variety.
