Just watched a movie coming out on Netflix I was worried would suck, only to find out it was kind of a charming throwback that didn't deserve to be dumped by Sony. Then I looked up what else the director had done and now I'm even more mad it's not getting a theatrical release

Chicago film experts recommend 10 can’t-miss movies from 2025 that you may have missed the first time around
How do films get overlooked? Many are increasingly bypassing theaters. Online platforms offer stand-alone films and episodic series. Only big-budget, star-studded Hollywood products get publicized.
