Reed Hastings, please come in for your close-up.

The Netflix chief executive could stand to benefit by getting original feature-length films made by his streaming service into the nation’s movie houses, if a federal probe rules against the Big Three cinema houses.

The probe of AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Entertainment by the Justice Department may open the door to such a move, one Wall Street analyst wrote in a report on Wednesday.

Up to now, that would’ve seemed impossible as Netflix would stream those films alongside their theatrical debuts — thus hurting the crucial box office business.

In fact, last September, in response to Netflix’s announcing a “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” sequel, movie houses needed only a day to declare the film’s first run would not be with them.

But the probe of the Big Three — for allegedly keeping first-run films from smaller chains — may pressure them to open their doors to Hastings, Janney analyst Tony Wible wrote in a report.

All three confirmed in regulatory filings this week they’re being investigated by Justice.

While Wible doesn’t expect the probe to force an end to the industry’s decades-old windowing practices —during which major movies run exclusively in theaters for 90 days or so before appearing on pay TV — or lead to a break-up of the companies and their 17,000 screens, it does offer hope for Hastings, Wible noted.

“We believe theater operators will be more mindful of their actions at this point,” Wible wrote.

Wible believes the consequences of such a shift, while not yet appreciated, could be monumental, given that more and more media players want to be in pictures.

“The problem for Netflix is its ‘theatrical’ films have not made it into theaters,” Wible said. “And Hollywood’s top talent doesn’t want to be limited to making films for TV.

“By funding production, Netflix would circumvent pay TV exclusivity and pick up films before they would have otherwise entered the traditional studio ecosystem,” he said. “And that could keep the Netflix train running for quite some time.”

Netflix shares, up 82 percent this year, slipped $2.25 on Wednesday to $621.66
