This year, Dev Patel released his hugely successful directorial debut, Monkey Man, and while its popularity says many things, the movie’s success is definitely a hint to Netflix that they must not pass up risky projects, and furthermore, should take advantage of theatrical releases like the rest of the streaming world. Monkey Man is a neo-noir action movie that stars Dev Patel as Kid, a young man who seeks revenge against the people who caused his mother’s death and continue to hurt Indian politics and society. On a budget of $10 million, Monkey Man’s box office was $33 million.
