In a press release obtained by the Wrap, Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger called Universal’s decision to bypass the theatrical window for Trolls World Tour “completely inappropriate” and said it “certainly has nothing to do with good faith business practice, partnership and transparency.” “We will continue our normal policy and play movies that respect the theatrical window, allowing movies to be released first in theatres prior to streaming or VOD platforms.” Regal’s policy has not changed, but it emphasizes the need to respect the theatrical window. “Regal is not boycotting Universal nor any other studio,” the company tweeted Thursday afternoon. While they didn’t go as far as AMC Theatres did, barring all Universal movies from their many theaters, they did draw the line. The theater chain’s parent company, Cineworld, released a statement regarding NBCUniversal’s decision to consider releasing films in theaters and on-demand simultaneously. Regal Entertainment isn’t banning any movie studios from its cinemas … for now.
