Deadline:

Welcome to the jungle that is this fast-shifting movie meld between theatrical release and streaming. In the biggest acquisition of a finished film it has made so far, Netflix has acquired from Warner Bros the worldwide rights to Mowgli, the CGI live action film directed by Andy Serkis based on the Jungle Book stories of Rudyard Kipling.

Holy shit. No theatrical release at all now.

With The Cloverfield Paradox, Annihilation (internationally, at least),Extinction and now Mowgli, Netflix is becoming the dumping ground for movies that the big studios are wary to release properly.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing…it’s just damned interesting.
