In general, for Oscar eligibility, a movie has to be shown for seven consecutive days for paid admission in the same commercial movie theater, with screenings at least three times daily, one of which must be between 6:00 and 10:00 P.M. (except if it's a drive-in, in which case only one screening daily is required), in only one of the following places: Los Angeles County; New York City (anywhere in the five boroughs); Cook County, Illinois; Fulton County, Georgia; Miami-Dade County, Florida; or the Bay Area (anywhere in San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, San Mateo, or Contra Costa counties). It can be made available for streaming the same day it first shows in theaters, but not before.
In practice, as Mark indicated, this means Netflix's Oscar-bait films regularly play for at least a week in New York and Los Angeles. And to be clear, AMC and Regal wouldn't specifically pass on "Blonde" due to the NC-17 rating, but because they will usually only play movies if the exclusive theatrical window lasts longer than what the streamers usually offer. (That said, the streamers will sometimes negotiate for exceptions -- I saw "Being the Ricardos" at the AMC Burbank 16, and that one only had an 11-day theatrical exclusive.) > On Sep 12, 2022, at 1:38 PM, Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: > > If they put it in one theater in New York and one in Los Angeles for one day > or whatever the minimum requirement for Oscar eligibility is, I wouldn’t be > surprised.
