Sony is apparently trying to avoid releasing the Masters of the Universe movie in theaters, fearing they will lose money, and is attempting to sell the movie to Netflix. Sony previously did the same thing with the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, making the film and then selling it to Paramount.
>Sony had recently dated the film for March 5, 2021, but an interesting new report from THR this week suggests that the movie may actually go direct to Netflix.>According to the site, Sony’s Tom Rothman is exploring the possibility of the studio making MotU exclusively for Netflix, which would give Sony “risk-free cash” and allow them to avoid the potential pratfalls of a major theatrical release with a massive marketing spend. This seems to be a response to the performance of Men in Black: International earlier this year.https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3588280/sonys-new-masters-universe-movie-may-end-going-direct-netflix/
