Amazon’s philosophy is in sharp contrast to Netflix, which has shelled out quite a bit of money for its own movie originals.
However, movies from Adam Sandler and a whole slew of other movies in the works, like Will Smith’s Bright, are heading straight to Netflix rather than giving people the chance to catch the flicks in theaters first.
Amazon has really been pushing for good critical reception with its original movies, and the company did get that with Manchester By The Sea, which was nominated and won awards at a lot of big ceremonies, including the Oscars where it nabbed statues for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay.
