Some movies -- even ones made by well known, even acclaimed filmmakers -- are probably better served by getting picked up by Netflix. The audience has changed. Know where your material would play best nowadays. And Netflix releasing it means we'll likely never know if it flopped.https://twitter.com/JonathanBarkan/status/1085212514680397824 …

But don't you think something is lost by not having a theatrical release? The feeling of seeing something for the first time with an excited crowd? Netflix can't beat that.

Yes, but a pricey movie released theatrically that flops will make it tougher for a director to make another film, esp. a passion project. If Silence was a smash then Scorsese's The irishman might not have ended made by Netflix. Mowgli (and Serkis) was spared by going to Netflix.
