IMAX Suitors and Why Netflix Put Fincher in Theaters
(00:00) Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss who might buy IMAX after news broke last week that it is exploring a sale, and they get into the details behind how IMAX works as a business. They also discuss Netflix putting David Fincher’s new movie, ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth,’ in theaters with an exclusive two-week run in IMAX and whether this is just another Netflix movie theater stunt or perhaps something more meaningful (02:27). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the box office performance for the breakout horror phenomenon ‘Obsession’ (26:07).
