I just don't really see the appeal of Netflix teaming up with AMC, Regal or any of the other theater chains. It goes against Netflix's business model and more importantly, I don't think that it would really help them. Using theaters to preview their original movies feels pretty backwards to me. The whole point of Netflix originals is that you can only watch them on Netflix. I don't think that theaters showing Netflix movies on the big screen is really going to make people more eager to create a Netflix account. People would just as easily wait a few days to watch those movies on Netflix instead of going to a theater, especially when they can watch Netflix movies whenever they want that way as opposed to having a limited amount of time to watch them on a big screen.
Like I said before, Netflix not having their movies playing in theaters isn't one of their problems. There are bigger problems with their business model that they should address instead. They put a lot of money into a lot of projects, but a lot of their original content are seen as disposable. Aside from some of their huge hits, they don't tend to stand out that much, which is a problem when they make so many and want to get a lot of money back. They've often emphasized quantity over quality, but they should care about quality instead of just the view numbers or the algorithm. Having a weekly release schedule instead of releasing a ton of episodes all at once might help them out too. They should obviously do more with their animation projects and not treat their creative teams like dirt too. Using movie theaters as promos for their upcoming movies wouldn't address any of these issues and I don't think more people would sign up for Netflix just because they saw some of their movies in theaters.
