Deadline first reported the news Friday and CNET has received confirmation from Warner Bros. Netflix did not immediately respond to request for comment. > Netflix has struck similar deals that in 2018 led Alex Garland's Annihilaton to debut internationally on Netflix with a theatrical release in the US, and for The Cloverfield Paradox to have its international premiere on the service.
