Netflix has become the go-to streaming service for anyone looking to watch quality original content. They have been producing some of the biggest and most talked-about shows and movies over the past few years, such as Stranger Things, The Crown and more. However, one movie that has been absent from Netflix’s library since its release is Bombshell – the 2019 Academy Award-winning drama about Fox News’ sexual misconduct scandal.
Bombshell was released in theaters on December 13th, 2019 and went on to gross over $103 million worldwide. It won two Academy Awards for Best Actress (Charlize Theron) and Best Makeup & Hairstyling and was highly praised by critics for its performances and direction. The film starred Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow, Connie Britton, Kate McKinnon and more.
Despite its success at the box office, Netflix has yet to add Bombshell to their streaming library. This is due in part to their exclusive licensing deal with Lionsgate Entertainment which allows them to air certain movies from their library but not all of them. While most major releases make it onto Netflix’s platform eventually, some don’t due to licensing restrictions or other factors.
In addition to their exclusive deal with Lionsgate Entertainment, Netflix also has a policy of not buying older films that have already been released in theaters or on other platforms. This means that while they are able to license certain titles from studios like Lionsgate Entertainment or Paramount Pictures, they are not able to purchase older titles like Bombshell that have already been released elsewhere.
Despite this policy however, there is still hope for those who want to watch Bombshell on Netflix. The film is available for purchase or rent through digital retailers like iTunes and Amazon Prime Video so viewers can still watch it if they are willing to pay for it.
Conclusion: While Netflix does not currently have Bombshell available for streaming due to licensing restrictions and their policy of not buying older films that have already been released elsewhere, viewers can still watch it if they are willing to purchase or rent it through digital retailers like iTunes or Amazon Prime Video.
