Netflix is really having a tough go with this whole movie business. After causing a ruckus at Cannes Film Festival last month, the streaming service prepping for the much-anticipated June 28 release of Okja, a socially conscious, near future adventure about a massive, pig-like animal.

Though the movie was booed at the French festival because the growing rift between the streaming service and local industry laws, it received phenomenal reviews from critics. But now the film from Bong Joon-ho—the celebrated South Korean-born filmmaker behind The Host and Snowpiercer—is being blocked in most his home country's theaters. South Korea's three largest cinema chains—Lotte, Megabox, and CJ CGV—will not screen Okja, shutting the film out from 93 percent of the country's theaters.

As Variety reports:

Lotte and Megabox followed CJ CGV's denial of screens on the grounds that Netflix's plan for a day-and-date cinematic and online release flouts the usual three-week hold-back before a film becomes available for streaming. CJ CGV calls the delay "an important business practice in Korea." The company also contends that Netflix's simultaneous opening policy disturbs the distribution ecosystem in South Korea.

Though Bong told Variety during Cannes last month that directing a Netflix film did not "make much difference for me as a filmmaker," this marks more worldwide resistance to films debuting on the streaming service.

To be eligible for Academy Award consideration, a film must screen at a commercial theatre in Los Angeles County "for a qualifying run of at least seven consecutive days, during which period screenings must occur at least three times daily, with at least one screening beginning between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. daily."
