Shame as I'd love to see it in IMAX. |
This mirrors what I was saying about Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Disney wanted to cash in on a big holiday and forfeit the window, which I believe is 12 weeks or something. I think they (Disney) won that one in the end because it was a case of take this film or don't get offered any others.
I doubt that Netflix have muscles as big as Disney so they will probably lose out...
