Netflix‘s ambitious drama “La Bola Negra” will play in theaters for four weeks before landing on the streaming platform.

The film is set to debut in theaters on Nov. 6 before hitting on Netflix on Dec. 4. With this fall release date, Netflix is positioning the film as an awards contender. The streamer nabbed “La Bola Negra” at the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie premiered to rave reviews and sparked a bidding war before tying for the festival’s best director prize.
