,” will play exclusively on the big screen starting on May 14 for one week prior to its Netflix release on May 21., one of the country’s biggest theater chains, has agreed to play the movie, making “Army of the Dead” the first Netflix film to score a wide release at a major theater chain. It will screen at 200 Cinemark locations and roughly 600 theaters in total, including iPic, Landmark, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins and Cinépolis.
That didn’t matter to Netflix as much as it did to its filmmakers. Netflix has long argued it doesn’t need to rely on ticket sales; the company makes movies for its subscribers, who want immediate access to the latest buzzy film. In the past, Netflix only pushed for limited theatrical runs for awards hopefuls, like “Roma” and “The Irishman.”
Netflix doesn’t have a standard rollout for its movies, instead crafting release plans to fit the movie itself. The sensory overload of “Army of the Dead,” starring Dave Bautista, is one that Netflix anticipates will benefit from viewing on the biggest screen possible. Billed as a “spiritual sequel” to Snyder’s 2004 film “Dawn of the Dead,” the upcoming caper follows mercenaries who plan a heist in Vegas during a zombie apocalypse.
“Cinemark is excited to work with Netflix on our first wide release and provide movie lovers the opportunity to see ‘Army of the Dead’ in our theatres across the U.S.,” McDaniel said. “Zack Snyder fans will love seeing the action in an immersive, cinematic environment with larger-than-life sight and sound technology.”

It's a documentary. There are so many people on this planet, walking around brain dead.
Sucks that AMC (the closest to my apartment) won’t be showing it. But I get it. Might bite the bullet and seek out the closest theater that will show it.
