The company confirmed in January that the popular thriller contained a brief clip from Canada’s deadly Lac-Mégantic tragedy.
The excerpt was used early in the film to depict a fictional news story about an apocalyptic scenario.
Netflix had initially said it would not substitute the footage in question.
In a brief emailed statement to the BBC on Thursday, the company confirmed that, along with the filmmakers of Bird Box, it has decided to replace the clip.
“We’re sorry for any pain caused to the Lac-Mégantic community,” the statement said, without giving a reason for changing its decision.
Over 45 people were killed in 2013 when a train carrying crude oil derailed in the Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic. Dozens of homes and businesses were destroyed.
The process to replace the clip worldwide with an outtake from a TV series will take several weeks, the company said.
