Heh, they've already had to revise the article over the Cliff Booth title not being official {nm} notfabio Jun 05, 11:12

Netflix, the DVDs by mail company whose streaming slogan forever was "No Ads. Ever"? {nm} sir richfield Jun 05, 11:42

*looks at Project Hail Mary, Michael, Obsession, Backrooms, and then The Odyssey bringing down AMC's site*...what's that expression... tealfan Jun 05, 12:49

What's funny is Netflix will trot out "we're really going to give theatrical a chance" then go "ha ha suckers! you believed us?" IN PRINT. {nm} notfabio Jun 05, 13:01

It's still a disaster but Paramount buying Warner was always the better option (if the deal actually goes through) {nm} Moviesnob Jun 05, 13:08

Netflix benefits from Universal's theatrical run as they'll get OBSESSION and ODYSSEY after a four month Peacock window Moviesnob Jun 05, 13:03

Netflix only started licensing exclusive all rights to titles and producing their own when they believed the studios would stop licensing Moviesnob Jun 05, 13:05

so in a way, they need theatrical to continue to survive? {nm} tealfan Jun 05, 14:04

No, but just because box office is good doesnt mean netflix suffers. its more complicated & netflix can benefit if theatrical is up or down Moviesnob Jun 05, 16:04

thanks...nice going Netflix...making money either way...I think I... tealfan Jun 05, 18:46

well, to be clear he was def ****ting on theatrical. he just can (which sucks) {nm} Moviesnob Jun 05, 18:56
