According to Cinemark CEO, the decision was made because the film's release model is not 'constructive' for the theatrical ecosystem. This model is seen as a threat to traditional theatrical releases, which rely on exclusive runs in cinemas to generate revenue.
The decision has sparked debate in the industry, with some arguing that it sets a bad precedent for future releases. Reporting on the decision is largely in agreement, but some outlets have noted that the exact terms of Tarantino's deal with Netflix are not publicly known, and it is unclear how this will impact future releases.
For example, it is not clear whether other studios will follow Tarantino's lead and demand similar release terms, or whether Netflix will continue to push for simultaneous releases.
