DL: Reed Hastings did a ginormous data dump at the CODE conference today. Extraction viewed by 99 million accounts. Bird Box 89 million notfabio Sep 27, 16:03

Extraction viewed 231 million hours, Bird Box 282 million hours. Still no desire to buy a theatre chain. {nm} notfabio Sep 27, 16:04

By comparison BRIDGERTON 82 million accounts, 625 million hours viewed. {nm} notfabio Sep 27, 16:06

6UNDG had more account views than Old Guard, yet it's the latter getting the sequel. {nm} Antibody Sep 27, 16:12

OLD GUARD allegedly was $70 million, 6 UNDERGROUND 150 million budget. So that'll do it. {nm} notfabio Sep 27, 16:35

Reported budget for 6 Underground was more than double that of Old Guard. {nm} Jay_Beezy Sep 27, 16:36

How much more views did they expect? It's in the top 5. {nm} Antibody Sep 27, 17:22

Red Notice is budgeted at $200M, so that assumes they're expecting a new number 1 with 100M+ accounts and 300M+ views. Antibody Sep 27, 17:24

I guess it means they've established a threshold for success based on views per $ budget. Jay_Beezy Sep 27, 18:16

Of course, since a view is only two minutes now, a movie with TROCK, RREYN and GGADO should get some easy “views”. {nm} Jay_Beezy Sep 27, 22:17

does "account views" mean they finished the movie because I couldn't finish 6 Underground =P {nm} tealfan Sep 27, 21:26

No, it doesn't. {nm} DTravel Sep 27, 21:28

Old metric was 70% viewed. New metric is first two minutes viewed. {nm} Jay_Beezy Sep 27, 21:30

they provided total hours watched this time {nm} Moviesnob Sep 28, 04:44

So for the movies, divide those hours by the movies’ runtimes to get the number of views. Jay_Beezy Sep 28, 06:27

why? if the two min metric doesnt work for you then its more valuable to see total hours Moviesnob Sep 28, 07:38

What I'm saying is that dividing view hours by runtimes isn't 100% accurate because it assumes all of the viewing hours are complete views. Jay_Beezy Sep 28, 07:46

i still dont know why you would do that but the greatest benefit imo about total hours is if it becomes a standarized metric, then HSX can Moviesnob Sep 28, 11:47
