2: about 140M accounts, so almost 1 in 3. (Which seems unrealistic it would be that many) islndr Dec 28, 23:33

There is a zero chance any of this information from Netflix is right. LaForza Dec 29, 23:03

What a joke. This makes me sick. More "facts" from these film clowns, this time about how Birdbox is bigger than Aquaman. OK, sure. goodvibe61 Dec 29, 00:43

If Roma and Bird Box are Netflix future, that future is relatively dim DTXbro Dec 29, 11:59

All they have to do is get subscribers. If what they produce brings in more subscriptions, they could care less what studios do. {nm} ndmaster Dec 29, 19:18

I’m confused. I’ve heard mixed things about Bird Box but Roma is one of the best films in years. How is your statement meant to be read? {nm} MiyazakiFan Dec 30, 05:55

The DTXBroscore for Roma was D. (Which is IMO way too low, but it's his opinion) {nm} RogerMore Dec 30, 11:35

Netflix followed up to media press, that they counted 75% or more of the film viewed by any household account as a viewing. {nm} notfabio Dec 30, 13:31

I've been thinking about it and figured it had to be something like this, especially with all the account sharing {nm} OdysseusG Dec 30, 16:54
