Exhibitors Refuse To Screen "Beasts"

Not unsurprisingly, major theater chains have said they will not screen Cary Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation" which Netflix bought this week for $12 million. Variety reports that the four largest exhibitors in the United States - AMC, Regal, Cinemark and Carmike - have no plans to show the film as Netflix is debuting it simultaneously on its streaming service rather than the usual 90-day minimum delay between theatrical debut and home entertainment release. Yet the film, which stars Idris Elba and deals with child soldiers, is expected to have a qualifying run for Oscar consideration in select theaters later this year.
