The movie Okja, sparked controversy at this year’s Cannes film festival over Netflix’s policy of releasing its movies in cinemas and online on the same day. South Korean director Bong Joon-ho attends at the press conference for his latest film Okja in Seoul, South Korea. Netflix was seeking general release for Okja in South Korea but the three top multiplex chains have decided to boycott it. A poster for the Netflix movie Okja, in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, is displayed on the Croisette. The rule will apply from next year, potentially preventing future Netflix movies from competing.
