He said, “Any theaters we can get it into at any point I’m pushing for,” Johnson said. “I want more people to have the opportunity to be able to watch it.” Johnson added, “Once it’s on the service, it will be available to theaters, and we’re exploring what form that can take.”
“I’ll take as much as I can possibly get. But a lot of that has to do with what the theaters are willing to do, what makes sense.”
