Netflix will give “The Irishman” an exclusive theatrical release for about four weeks, providing theaters most of November to play Martin Scorsese’s big-budget crime epic before it lands on the streaming service.
“The Irishman” will open theatrically Nov. 1 and begin streaming on Nov. 27, Netflix said this week.
The release plans for one of Netflix’s most expensive films yet had been a subject of much conjecture ever since the steaming service greenlit Scorsese’s film. The director is one of the most ardent proponents of cinema preservation, but Scorsese earlier told that he signed up with Netflix without any condition of a theatrical release.
“The Irishman,” which includes extensive de-aging visual effects to make its star-studded cast — including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci — appear decades younger in some scenes has reportedly cost close to $200 million to make. The film, about hitman and Jimmy Hoffa associate Frank Sheeran, will open the New York Film Festival on Sept. 27.
