In April 2018, Netflix pulled out of the [[Cannes Film Festival]], in response to new rules requiring competition films to have been released in French theaters. The Cannes premiere of ''[[Okja]]'' in 2017 was controversial, and led to discussions over the appropriateness of films with simultaneous digital releases being screened at an event showcasing theatrical film; audience members also booed the Netflix [[production logo]] at the screening. Netflix's attempts to negotiate to allow a limited release in France were curtailed by organizers, as well as French [[cultural exception]] law—where theatrically screened films are legally forbidden from being made available via video-on-demand services until at least 36 months after their release.<ref name="Statt">{{Cite news |last=Statt |first=Nick |date=April 11, 2018 |title=Netflix pulls out of Cannes Film Festival following competition ban |website=[[The Verge]] |url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/11/17225898/netflix-cannes-film-festival-competition-ban-streaming-services |access-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190708192348/https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/11/17225898/netflix-cannes-film-festival-competition-ban-streaming-services |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Tiffany">{{Cite news |last=Tiffany |first=Kaitlyn |date=May 19, 2017 |title=Netflix booed at Okja's Cannes premiere |website=[[The Verge]] |url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/19/15662542/netflix-cannes-film-festival-booed-okja-premiere |access-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190708192350/https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/19/15662542/netflix-cannes-film-festival-booed-okja-premiere |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="theverge.com">{{Cite news |last=Tiffany |first=Kaitlyn |date=May 10, 2017 |title=Netflix's first two films at Cannes could be its last |website=[[The Verge]] |url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/10/15608978/netflix-cannes-film-festival-new-rule-theater-release-france |access-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-date=July 8, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190708192349/https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/10/15608978/netflix-cannes-film-festival-new-rule-theater-release-france |url-status=live}}</ref> Besides traditional Hollywood markets as well as from partners like the [[BBC]], Sarandos said the company also looking to expand investments in non-traditional foreign markets due to the growth of viewers outside of North America.
