Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart action-comedy The Man From Toronto heading to Netflix
The streamer has acquired the global rights, excluding China, for the Sony flick
For the last few years, Netflix seems to have ballooned its action genre original content. Just over the pandemic we were gifted (or cursed, on many occasions) with films like The Old Guard, 6 Underground, Spenser Confidential, and Extraction. At this point, it feels like they’re making 10 per year. Well, get ready for the next one in the lineup. Per Variety, Sony Pictures’ Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart action-comedy The Man From Toronto will move from its original theatrical release to one on the streaming service.
The change results from an exclusive first-look deal Sony signed with Netflix for its content back in 2021. This also came with an agreement for movies post-theatrical release to hit the streaming service first, where Sony previously had this deal with Starz. Netflix will now hold the worldwide rights to the film, except for in China.
