Netflix's tight relationship with The Weinstein Company has scored another win. The two revealed tonight that next year when the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon arrives in theaters, it will also be available streaming on Netflix at the same time. Netflix's Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos tells the New York Times he hopes that the unique setup -- available to Netflix's 50 million+ worldwide subscribers and in select IMAX theaters on August 28th, 2015 -- will inspire other studios to look outside the traditional windowed release schedule. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend also shares a writer, John Fusco, with another Weinstein/Netflix team-up, the Marco Polo series that's arriving next year.
