Someone has already mentioned Hollywood Accounting.
Also Netflix gets $10 a month from me. $120 for a year. Double what I spend at the cinema.
And I don't watch big budget movies all the time. I can see them getting customers to keep paying the monthly subscription for the cheaper to make content and then they have enough money left over to film a few huge movies every year. Especially if they use relatively unknown talent that won't get paid tens of millions a film.
- macspoofing 11y ago>Also Netflix gets $10 a month from me. $120 for a year. Double what I spend at the cinema. Which means you're spending $180 on movies per year. $120 for a legacy catalogue of hundreds of movies, and $60 for six new releases. So why would they give up that extra $60?
- 2muchcoffeeman 11y agoWell, you originally questioned how they would recoup the cost of making a big movie. And I replied thinking it was entirely possible. As for your next question, maybe making their own movies does not exclude theatrical releases and getting another $60 from me. I think their bigger concern is not having to deal with expiring streaming rights and regional distribution rights. They want their own library of quality content.
