Netflix is trying to recover from the crisis it has been suffering in recent weeks after the massive loss of subscriptions and lawsuits from its own shareholders. The situation has become so serious that the platform is considering a new type of subscription that is cheaper and with ads to attract a greater number of users, and now, the new idea that has been put on the table is to change the subscription system. premiere of his films. Until now, Netflix has been launching most of its productions on the platform itself, showing only a few exceptions in theaters that did not necessarily respect the exhibition windows. In this way, it has almost always been possible to watch the films from the first day paying only the standard subscription price of the platform, but Netflix could change tactics to be able to launch its films in theaters around the world before their online premiere, and it could start with ‘Daggers in the back 2’.

According to Bloomberg, some of the cinema chains such as AMC and Grupo Cineworld would have refused a simultaneous release with the platform since, as is logical, they would lose a large part of their profits.

Another candidate for the experiment could be ‘Bardo’, the next film by Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu (‘The Revenant’).
