Netflix Movie 'The Irishman' Will Play in a Broadway Theater for One Month!
The upcoming Netflix movie The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese, is set to play in a Broadway theater for one month.
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci‘s awards-worthy film will play in New York City’s Belasco Theatre from November 1 through December 1.
The film will run on a normal Broadway schedule of eight showings a week. There will be screenings in the evenings Tuesday through Sunday and matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
Netflix will be bringing in state-of-the-art equipment to display the movie on a big screen in the Broadway house. This will be the first time a movie is screened in the Belasco in the theater’s 112-year history.
“We’ve lost so many wonderful theaters in New York City in recent years, including single house theaters like the Ziegfeld and the Paris,” Scorsese said in a statement (via Deadline). “The opportunity to recreate that singular experience at the historic Belasco Theatre is incredibly exciting.”
The Irishman will begin streaming on Netflix on November 27.
