Score for Netflix: Brad Pitt’s next feature will debut on the subscription service in 2016 as well as in theaters. “War Machine” comes from David Michod, director of the great “Animal Kingdom” and the lesser “The Rover.” This is big news for Netflix, which now will flex its muscle simultaneously on their own platform and in movie theaters. The latter part of this news is to mollify theater operators who feel more and more cut out of what’s happening in Hollywood. This is no longer just Adam Sandler putting his unwanted movies on Netflix. Watch and see if this isn’t a game changer. “War Machine” is based on a book called “The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan” by the late Michael Hastings.
