Quentin Tarantino is no fan of movies that are made to exist on streaming platforms. Tarantino criticized films that are made for streamers, saying, “It’s almost like they don’t even exist.”
“I’m probably going to be doing the movie with Sony because they’re the last game in town that is just absolutely, utterly, committed to the theatrical experience. It’s not about feeding their streaming network. They are committed to theatrical experience. They judge success by asses on seats. And they judge success by the movies entering the zeitgeist, not just making a big expensive movie and then putting it on your streaming platform. No one even knows it’s there.”
Tarantino took aim at Ryan Reynolds‘ slate of films made for Netflix, saying that despite the money those films have made, they’re not memorable film-going experiences.
“I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them. I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you? Well, good for him that he’s making so much money, but those movies don’t exist in the zeitgeist. It’s almost like they don’t even exist.”
