The move marks the latest effort by the streaming giant to experiment with theatrical releases of its popular titles.

The popularity of “KPop Demon Hunters” — which has been crowned the streamer’s most-watched movie — prompted Netflix to take the unusual step of giving the movie a limited theatrical run weeks after its streaming premiere.

Under the direction of Kim Noble, this touring production from Washington, D.C.’s Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company found ways to choreograph the simultaneous activities of disparate audience members into a lyrical theatrical patchwork.

As The Scythe illustrates, From The Pyre is a deeply personal record – even though the band have a tendency to self-mythologise and dress their stories in florid, theatrical outfits.

The movie’s massive popularity led to a limited theatrical run for sing-along screenings as well as live performances of its songs.
