Good that indie theaters will get a big revenue boost:
The Irishman will open Nov. 1 in select indie cinemas willing to carry the drama. More than three weeks later — or 26 days to be exact — it will debut Nov. 27 on Netflix, much as Alfonso Cuarón's Oscar-nominated Roma did last year. This rules out the sort of big-screen blitz Scorsese and other seasoned directors are used to, unless something changes at the 11th hour.

They did the same thing for Roma, it’s not good at all, it’s insulting, 3 weeks is nothing. Let the movie play for 3 months and then the theaters make money

Yes, Netflix loses here, but so do theater owners. Wolf of Wall Street, Scorsese’s last star-driven commercial movie, grossed $400M worldwide. https://t.co/TqZBOODe6T— Matthew Belloni (@THRMattBelloni) August 27, 2019

That'll mean a Lightbox opening in Toronto (where Roma screened)...I guess "indie" is anything that's not Cineplex, but it's hard for me to think of the Lightbox (home to TIFF) as an indie--they're about as un-indie as it gets in terms of corporate sponsorship.

I’m pretty interested in the mob history they’re obviously going to touch on particularly w/r/t Angelo Bruno (since he’s played by Keitel I assume it will be a major part of the story). Also part of the film will include Crazy Joe Gallo, referenced briefly in a Goodfellas voice-over :
It was a glorious time. And wiseguys were all over the place. It was before Apalachin and before Crazy Joe decided to take on a boss and start a war.

Yep. Roma probably would have had better first-weekend streaming numbers with 3 months word-of-mouth and Oscar nominations.
Right now would be a perfect time to bring in the French 90-day window just for PR purposes, as Disney is choking theatres with their requirements & restrictions, and Netflix doesn't need to curry favour with them in order to get a year of Pixar's third-last release or w/e

Well yeah, but Tarantino at least put in an intermission. But I'm also apprehensive of that runtime. If Scorsese is going to work with Netflix, he might as well have made it a miniseries.

210 minutes makes me depressed more so because this is a huge movie that will (hopefully) look and feel great on a big screen... in multiplexes... around the world.............. not fuckin Netflix!because 210 minutes guarantees people are going to watch this non-sequentially
