@ctv_mack@FlyoutChase Not sure if that accounts for marketing spend. But I agree that they need to change that stance and I’m sure they will initially but there’s no way that’s their longterm play. The 1st Knives Out movie made 300mil on a 40mil budget and Netflix barely puts the new ones in theaters
@ctv_mack@FlyoutChase Ehh idk man, multiple studios out-spend Netflix in content. Also directors don’t really like them because Sarandos has stated multiple times about theaters not really being important to them. I will give you that Netflix will spend a lot for good directors they can obtain
@FlyoutChase Fair lol but WB has been doing that largely due to Zaslav, who stinks. Allegedly, he was pushing for Netflix because they would keep him in a top spot unlike the Ellisons or Comcast would - so even Netflix wouldn’t guarantee sound management. Lowkey I hoped Apple would make a bid
@FlyoutChase I get your point but paying $20 per DVD back then is not as big of a threat to theaters as people paying less than that a month for a catalog of 1000s of movies.
Business-wise, it makes sense for Netflix. But this 100% will cause a decline to the art form of movies in the future
