That seems to be what legendary director Steven Spielberg has decided when it comes to his one-time foe, Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>As the Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/steven-spielberg-escalates-his-war-netflix-paul-bois\">reported<\/a>, in the past, the legendary director battled to blunt the streaming platform\u2019s influence over the movie industry.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, for example, he lobbied the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to block Netflix films from qualifying for Oscar nominations, saying movies that don\u2019t have a standard theatrical roll out present a \u201cclear and present danger\u201d for filmgoers. \u201cOnce you commit to a television format,\u201d he said at that time, \u201cyou\u2019re a TV movie. You certainly, if it\u2019s a good show, deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar. I don\u2019t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t just an off-the-cuff opinion. In correlation with its chairman\u2019s informal comments, his production company, Amblin Partners, also released a statement, arguing Spielberg was trying to salvage the traditional movie-going experience: \u201cSteven feels strongly about the difference between the streaming and theatrical situation,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>But it appears the man who helmed \u201cJaws,\u201d \u201cRaiders of the Lost Ark, \u201cE.T.,\u201d and \u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d is giving up the fight. In a deal <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NetflixFilm\/status\/1407017729777758212?s=20\">announced<\/a> Monday, Amblin revealed it has entered into a partnership to produce multiple feature films per year for the streaming service.<\/p>\n<p>According to Deadline, the Netflix deal will \u201cco-exist side by side with the one Spielberg and Amblin have at Universal Pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeither will have first shot at Amblin properties,\u201d reports the trade publication. \u201cSpielberg will make some films for Universal, and others to be made for Netflix. The expectation is that Amblin will generate multiple films per year for Netflix, which has a voracious appetite for content and releases a new film per week. Amblin\u2019s Universal deal was extended last December, at which time comments reflected the possibility that a streaming deal might be in the offing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While breaking the news, Spielberg signaled his commitment to bringing his distinctive style to small screens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Amblin, storytelling will forever be at the center of everything we do, and from the minute [Netflix chief] Ted [Sarandos] and I started discussing a partnership, it was abundantly clear that we had an amazing opportunity to tell new stories together and reach audiences in new ways,\u201d the four-time Oscar-winner said in a joint <a href=\"https:\/\/about.netflix.com\/en\/news\/steven-spielbergs-amblin-partners-forms-netflix-film-partnership\">statement<\/a> with Netflix. \u201cThis new avenue for our films, alongside the stories we continue to tell with our longtime family at Universal and our other partners, will be incredibly fulfilling for me personally since we get to embark on it together with Ted, and I can\u2019t wait to get started with him, Scott, and the entire Netflix team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netflix, too, seems all-too ready to let bygones be bygones, with Sarandos calling Spielberg a \u201ccreative visionary.\u201d From a personal perspective he added, \u201cMy growing up was shaped by his memorable characters and stories that have been enduring, inspiring and awakening. We cannot wait to get to work with the Amblin team and we are honored and thrilled to be part of this chapter of Steven\u2019s cinematic history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spielberg\u2019s next release will have an old-fashioned big screen roll out, however. His remake of the classic musical \u201cWest Side Story,\u201d starring Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler, hits theaters in December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
