Warner Bros will continue to have a 45-day theatrical window once the Netflix sale goes through, according to the streamer's co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Since the $82.7bn deal was made public, moviegoers have been worried about the survival of the cinema experience for Warner titles, which include the DC Universe, the Lord of the Rings franchise, and Harry Potter.

Sarandos has now confirmed that there's nothing to be worried about. "I understand that folks are emotional about it because they love it and they don’t want it to go away. And they think that we've been doing things to make it go away. We haven't," he told The New York Times.
