The Irishman - the new Martin Scorsese film featuring the likes of Robert Martin Nero, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesky among others - is out now on Netflix. Allegedly with a production budget of $ 160 million (approximately Rs. 1,150 crores) and a runtime of around three and a half hours, it is arguably the largest film and longest film produced by the world's largest streaming service.
It is also one of the best in aggregator Rotten Tomatoes' review with a 96 percent rating. But if you were hoping to catch the epic crime drama on the big screen in India, well, your options are non-existent. (Unless you're capable of time travel, which we'll get to in a minute.) So what's the fault with Netflix or India's big cinema chains?
Kamal Gyanchandani, CEO of PVR Pictures, told Gadgets 360 on Wednesday that the theatrical window is "sacred" if you wish - eight-weeks or 56 days in India. (Amazon has pushed it down to four weeks for some South Indian films that did not produce it.) Gianchandani said the 56-day window is already smaller than the 90-day window that North America and Europe Applies to most parts of. And because PVR knew Netflix's status on theatrical windows, "there was no direct engagement. I've personally talked to a few people at Netflix in the Los Angeles office. But we knew what their status was, they knew That is our position, so we never agreed to any kind of dialogue. "
"Nothing under eight weeks is notable from a theatrical standpoint," Gianchandani said and added a slap to Netflix: "It's being followed by all the studios. With Amazon [the original films], because they are following the windows, no problem. "Gianchandani noted that Oscar-winning Manchester of the Sea was released in theaters. Not in India, Ireland For reasons different from The Man.
Gianchandani said PVR cinema screens are open to films made by streaming services unless they follow India's eight-week theatrical window. Netflix released 26- for The Irishman. Day theatrical window, which releases on November 1 in select theaters in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Spain UI.
PVR may be India's largest cinema chain but it is not the only major player. Cinepolis did not react, though the cinema series declined to screen the Oscar-winning Roma - produced by Mexican director Alfonso Quarone - in their home country of Mexico last year, as it offered a longer window than Netflix Was interested And in a statement from 360's Gadgets, INOX Chief Programming Officer Rajendra Singh Jyola said.
"INOX follows the world-honors and a well-set theatrical window event, providing stability to the content and Brings value to the content creator. As far as The Irishman is concerned, the producers of the film did not reach us for screening in India. "
It is strange that Netflix did not bother to try and find The Irishman in theaters in India, considering the stars to dispose of it: Scorsese, De Niro, and Pacino. After all, most Scorsese films, including his passion project Silence - which failed to recover its modest budget globally - were released in Indian cinemas in the past.
In addition, The Irishman deserves to be seen on the big screen, as this reporter may differ from his experience at the 2019 Mumbai Film Festival - colloquially known as Mami - where Netflix has given it five other original titles Was presented with. If you are capable of time travel, this is where your skills come in
