They only take a % of profit. No minimum screening fees. So if nobody attends - there's no loss.

And I know this is film programmer inside baseball but I'm sure that is part of Netflix's motivation here. :(

Early 2025 our non-profit indie cinema was in a rough spot financially. In March we ran a month of repertory (classic films) WB screenings and it became our most profitable month on record.

WB (as it currently exists) wants their films to be played in cinemas & they're not restrictive about it.

I get accused of cockeyed optimism from time to time and it’s not totally unfair.

but I am very pessimistic about the ability of red state publics to maintain either academic integrity or academic quality while the primary concern of their boards and legislatures is culture war.
