"Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is reportedly in the running to acquire Landmark Theatres, a 50-theater chain that specializes in independent and foreign films."


"For a similar reason, Netflix is also considering a bid for Landmark. Netflix still wants to release its films to theaters on the same day that it releases them on its streaming service, but Landmark could give Netflix the ability to make more of its films Oscar eligible. Films must appear in theaters for a certain amount of time to be eligible for Academy Awards, and an Oscar could increase awareness of Netflix's originals."
