This has been the one place he wanted to put the film. From what I gather, it might”ve been decided prior to the premiere, but people didn”t want to discuss it with Quentin. I found out pretty much when everyone else found out.

We haven”t heard much from Quentin in the aftermath. Quentin was famously, majorly disillusioned with Disney”s decision to push The Hateful Eight out of the Cinerama Dome in order to screen Star Wars: The Force Awakens in yet another theater. It's only now, two months after the original story broke, that the controversy has resurfaced in a Deadline interview with Hateful Eight cinematographer Robert Richardson, who tells the site that the alleged incident “hurt Quentin, emotionally” while further insinuating that the Arclight actually backed out of a contract made with Hateful Eight distributor The Weinstein Company to screen the film in the Dome (a decision Tarantino contended was made after Disney threatened to pull The Force Awakens from every Arclight theater in the country). At the time, neither Disney nor the Arclight replied to HitFix's request for comment and the story effectively died, with even the normally-verbose Tarantino falling silent on the matter.

Back in December, Quentin Tarantino went on a much-publicized rant against Disney on The Howard Stern Show, claiming that the studio engaged in “extortion” by bullying the Arclight theater in Hollywood to push The Hateful Eight out of its famed Cinerama Dome to make room for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
