It would be just in select theatres in a very few cities. There's a mention of an expansion but probably it won't be wide considering it will be on Netflix the next few days.
People moaning about another version is logical. They don't know that this one was actually the first publicly announced but it was much more complex to do (it's mo-cap versus standard CGI) and later it has the issue of the other very succesful version. Very unfortunate for Andy Serkins. They lost against Disney even before they began.
I have seen a few comments saying the the F/X looks cheaper than Disney's and I also understand why they say that: the animals have human faces. That's because they are played by real actors and not just voiced. It's something revolutionary but they are too expressive to look enterally as real animals. The technique worked perfectly for apes and surprisingly, for a mythical creature (Smaug) but it seems it bothers to a few in this case. Anyway is certainly not cheaper.
I don't know how this movie will be received but I'm still very excited we will finally watch it and without the circus around an expensive project condemned to fail at the box office. Even if it's a masterwork, how do you sell the darker version of a story that everybody consider it is for little kids after the massive success of Disney's?

That’s a new thing now, I suppose. It can qualify for the Oscars if it plays in theatres first.

I am interested in seeing this one just for nostalgia. I love the Mowgli books (although I found them quite terrifying) and if this one is more like them than the cartoons (which I just couldn't watch) all the better.

The "nominee" before Bale name means he also has never won a BAFTA?!!! I read a tweet by a Spanish speaking critic saying he can't say anything yet but he really wants to talk about the movie! I wonder why!

I'd go if I were you.
This must be an interesting movie.

Do you think BC will participate in this? BC was considered a highlight of his debut film after all.
It seems is no longer mo capture, it’s only animation, tho.
Anyway, hopefully Disney doesn’t steal his thunder this time!

Well it’s certainly a timely adaptation.
