We look forward to having additional private conversations with our exhibition partners but are disappointed by this seemingly coordinated attempt from AMC and NATO to confuse our position and our actions." As we stated earlier, going forward, we expect to release future films directly to theaters, as well as on PVOD (premiere video on demand) when that distribution outlet makes sense. Universal was quick to respond to AMC's drastic stance, a spokesman saying: "We absolutely believe in the theatrical experience and have made no statement to the contrary. This would not affect Disney and Warner Bros – releasing Artemis Fowl and Sccob on VOD in the coming months – as the two studios have yet to commit to VOD releases when cinemas reopen. (opens in new tab)Īron went on to clarify that any filmmaking studio who decides to change the current status quo regarding release windows would face a similar response. Universal's biggest franchises include the Fast and Furious movies, the James Bond movies (internationally but not North America), Jurassic Park, Universal's monster movies, and any upcoming Lego movies. "This policy affects any and all Universal movies per se, goes into effect today and as our theaters reopen, and is not some hollow or ill-considered threat."
