After Netflix promised a 45-day theatrical window if had purchased Warner Bros, the streamer will now begin reporting grosses publicly for its upcoming slate of six movies: La Bola Negra, The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, Mosquito Bowl, Danny Boyle’s Ink, Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The change of heart, we’ve confirmed, comes from Netflix having two wide releases next year in Narnia and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Mind as well, get in the habit of reporting grosses. Up to this point, Netflix has often shielded its tickets sales from being shared in Rentak with other studios. The streamer did not officially report exactly what its first No. 1 ranking movie at the weekend office, August 2025’s K-Pop Demon Hunters Singalong grossed. Industry estimated that massively watched Netflix hit posted a 2-day box office of $19M (all circuits played it except AMC).
Netflix has often had a contentious relationship with top exhibitors like AMC, given how the streamer has rarely wanted to abide by an exclusive theatrical window, read Netflix and top circuits never saw-eye-to-eye on a theatrical window for Martin Scorsese’s award winning $250M The Irishman. Small exhibitors have savored their relationship with the streamer. Early on, Netflix would four-wall their titles with some theaters, which was a respected revenue stream for mom and pops.
Variety first had the story about Netflix reporting grosses.
