Daily News: Monday’s announcement that Netflix paid $30 million to finance and distribute Brad Pitt’s upcoming flick “War Machine” simultaneously online and in theaters means that the streaming company is now not only a major movie studio, but the distributor and, basically, cineplex at the same time. It’s a throwback to early Hollywood, when moguls financed and made films, then showed them in theaters they owned. The difference is that now, the audience is Netflix’s reportedly 60 million subscribers. That’s a big crowd. So to many, this deal heralds the beginning of the end for the multiplex.
