\n

\n Beginning in 2024, films will no longer become eligible for the best picture Oscar with just a one-week theatrical release in an app<\/a>roved city, but will require a lengthier stay in theaters, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science<\/a>s announced Wednesday. It is a move seemingly intended to bolster movie theaters and emphasize the difference between works made for the big and small screens.<\/p>\n

\n The Academy\u2019s board of governors earlier this month approved the new requirements, which, again, will not impact the current season\u2019s Oscar contenders.<\/p>\n

\n Upon completion of an initial qualifying run \u2014 currently defined as a one-week theatrical release in one of the six U.S. qualifying cities \u2014 a film will have to meet the following additional theatrical standards for best picture eligibility including an expanded theatrical run of seven days, consecutive or non-consecutive, in 10 of the top 50 U.S. markets, no later than 45 days after the initial release in 2024. For late-in-the-year films with expansions after Jan. 10, 2025, distributors must submit release plans to the Academy for verification.<\/p>\n

\n Release plans for late-in-the-year films must include a planned expanded theatrical run, as described above, to be completed no later than Jan. 24, 2025; Non-U.S. territory releases can count towards two of the 10 markets; Qualifying non-U.S. markets include the top 15 international theatrical markets plus the home territory for the film.<\/p>\n

\n While virtually all releases from the traditional Hollywood studios would meet these requirements, they are more likely to impact the plans \u2014\u00a0and pocketbooks \u2014\u00a0of streamers, indies and overseas distributors, which typically do not keep films in theaters in major cities for quite as long. However, it is understood that stakeholders of all sorts were consulted in arriving at the new requirements.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cAs we do every year, we have been reviewing and assessing our theatrical eligibility requirements for the Oscars,\u201d Academy CEO Bill Kramer<\/strong> and Academy president Janet Yang<\/strong> said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cIn support of our mission to celebrate and honor the arts and sciences of moviemaking, it is our hope that this expanded theatrical footprint will increase the visibility of films worldwide and encourage audiences to experience our artform in a theatrical setting. Based on many conversations with industry partners, we feel that this evolution benefits film artists and movie lovers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
