Mr. Spielberg, 72, will not attend the meeting, much less propose any rule changes. In fact, Mr. Spielberg’s animosity toward Netflix appears to have been acutely overstated. Mr. Spielberg has been publicly silent through all of it. His primary beef is not with Netflix, according to the people close to him. In January, after “Roma” was nominated for the best picture Oscar, Mr. Spielberg even called AMC and Regal, the largest theater companies, and implored them to play the Netflix film even though it was already available online.
