Netflix news "really" sucks. Agreed. My take... (nside)

Posted by: VictorY on Dec 06, 13:34

Make no mistake. there's a ton of responsibility for this mess to go around.  Selling a major studio to Netflix is like Coke selling out to Pepsi.. direct competitors. Netflix has ZERO interest in the theater model, they would prefer all the revenue for themselves.

This film-making chapter (outside a few exceptions) has been rough, and NOW= we're trying to kill off the movie theaters altogether.  A lot can happen before late 2026, but a major studio destroying its own business in this fashion- is historic in its stupidity..

Yep. I can't believe the degree of not caring about your own legacy, or the history of it at all. It's sickening. But hey, it's capitalism. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 06, 14:22

Don't blame capitalism. Hollywood would not exist without it. {nm} THXER Dec 07, 10:49

I don't think it will be that bad. Everyone freaked out whenever Disney bought anything and it worked out just fine. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 14:32

Hmm I'm not sure I'd call losing an entire slate from another major studio (Fox) "fine"... {nm} wolfiemozart Dec 06, 16:33

What did they lose? Still releasing Avatar movies, keeping the Alien and Predator franchises alive and doing better than ever. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 17:20

THEY didn't lose. WE did. Tallwonder Dec 07, 00:11

In 2017, Disney released 12 movies. Fox (and Searchlight) released 30. In 2024, Disney released 14 & Fox/Searchlight released...10 {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:21

Searchlight mostly becoming a content provider for Hulu has particularly devastated the arthouse market Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:23

(BREAKING) Trump Administration regulator : WBD is far more likely to collect its $5.8 billion breakup fee (from Netflix) Peterlee Dec 06, 16:58

In short, Trump will try his best to kill the Netflix/Warners deal Peterlee Dec 06, 17:00

I received an email from Netflix already confirming its done sneak Dec 06, 20:03

All Netflix subscribers got that Email... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 20:26

I get that sneak Dec 07, 00:20

Gotcha. Netflix should just get their lawyers suing Trump early... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 07, 05:24

Until the cheque for the donation to his presidential library clears. Assuming that would be less than 5.8bn. {nm} RufusS Dec 07, 06:29

Thats what people forget, is that other than being racist & sexist, Trump is not an idealogue. He's for sale {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:03

Netflix quietly does some great things (e.g. with Jane Campion & the next generation - waveintheocean.nz), which the likes of WB never did. {nm} Qix Dec 06, 20:25

Netflix has made and acquired a ton of high quality films and given lots of filmmakers a blank check to make their dream projects Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:33

For sure, although I assume Sarandos will have factored the cost of Nolan's day-n-date... Qix Dec 07, 11:49
