That's what I find striking. With all their experience & expertise, the major studios spend a tremendous amount of money and consistently produce a surprising number of failures. Personally, I like the wider seeding creatively in general (as you describe with Netflix.)
- throwaway43234 6y agoAnd those are just the failures you see! Friends in the industry tell me there are many more failures behind the scenes where shows can get arbitrarily far down the production pipeline only for studio execs to come in and scrap the whole thing. We're not so different from those 1000 monkeys writing shakespeare :)
- golemiprague 6y agoWouldn't call it 1000 monkeys, it is not different to books or startups or even restaurants, some fail and some succeed. Isn't start up success rate is also 1 to 20 or more? There are so many books and songs that nobody watch or read, it is just normal.
- pfranz 6y agoI have zero idea about Netflix, Amazon, or Disney, but I hear the high turnover in execs at the big network TV studios cause this. The story I often hear is the "new guys" are terratorial and kill off projects of their predecessors so their own projects can succeed.
