Guess what, guys? A new movie starring Elizabeth Olsen, famously known for her character, Wanda Maximoff in Avengers, is coming soon. It’s an all-new plunge for our hero because she’s leaving the glittery world of Marvel and stepping into the hustle and bustle of Netflix in an upcoming movie, ‘His Three Daughters.’
Life on Netflix for Elizabeth Olsen
Unlike her usual super-hero roles, she’s going for something a little more serious this time. The upcoming movie tells the touching story of three sisters who return home to be with their father. He’s sick and they’re dealing with everything it brings. Olsen is teaming up with some real heavy-hitters, including Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne, and the film’s being directed by Azazel Jacobs.
Getting a Theatrical Launch Before Streaming
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting. Instead of the movie being made straight for Netflix, there’s going to be a limited release in your local cinemas from September 6. You’ll have to wait till September 20 to stream the film on Netflix. This strategy has worked before, particularly with the film, ‘Hit Man’ starring Glen Powell.
A Winning Trick from ‘Hit Man’
Remember ‘Hit Man’? Its director, Richard Linklater, first sent it to the cinemas before making it available for streaming on Netflix. It was a tactic that really paid off in a big way with a mind-blowing 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and over $1.9 million in box office worldwide. Hardly a surprise that more films are starting to follow this path, right?
The Success Recipe for Theatre-to-Streaming films
Eric Handler from Roth MKM feels that releasing films first in theatres, then on streaming sites is a sure bet to smack the jackpot. Producers and investors say that they win playing this game. They feel it’s a better strategy than releasing exclusive content straight to streaming sites.
High-Five to Collective Ticket Sales
Sure, these movies might not hit the insane $200+ million earnings mark but c’mon, they make quite a bit from box office ticket sales. That’s why a lot of producers are starting to go with this strategy. It’s not just about making money. It’s about making more money.
The Changing Scene of Film Industry
We’ve seen how resilient and adaptable the film industry has been, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. They’re getting creative and pulling out all the stops to make sure they’re making the most bucks possible from their films, which is super smart when you think about it. ‘His Three Daughters’ is another shining example of these slick moves.
So guys, remember to free up some time to watch ‘His Three Daughters’ in cinemas from September 6. You can then snuggle up at home for your Netflix and Chill moment from September 20. Don’t forget the popcorn!
