‘Beasts of No Nation’ Streaming Controversy
“Most theaters in the U.S. won’t give screen time to African war drama Beasts of No Nation, the latest film acquired by Netflix in a $12 million deal.”
The film, directed by Cary Fukunaga, starring Idris Elba, and listing Bill Benenson as one of its executive producers, “…may only get a berth in 200 to 250 independent theaters, according to exhibition sources.”
“Netflix, which is aggressively growing its film slate, intends to debut Beasts of No Nation in theaters and on its streaming service later this year.”
