Netflix Sets Its Longest Theatrical Window Ever for Oscar Hopeful ‘La Bola Negra,’ Moving Up Release Date Netflix's decision to give its Spanish language Oscar hopeful "La Bola Negra" a 47 day exclusive window is a significant departure from the company's previous approach to prestige films.

The move underscores Netflix's selective approach to choosing which titles to push into theaters, often reserving them for prestige plays that can maximize box office earnings and generate buzz around marquee releases.
