Oof... I guess NFLX knows their business better than anybody, but I'm one of those that killed my sub a year back due to this.
It seems there are quite a few of us, but we may be less in number than those who are just looking for any random thing that 'fits' them according to an algorithm, quality be damned.
All this said... what did they pay Will Smith again for that horrible sci-fi schlock? I see it's $20M, and supposedly it was going to be $35M for the aborted sequel.
- steveBK123 3y agoI think NFLX tried the big budget all-star thing and gave up on it earlier than the rest. That Will Smith sci-fi thing was 7 years ago. None of the rest took note of that..
- brandall10 3y agoAs noted above though, the sequel was in the works and he was slated to be paid nearly double for that effort. This is a fairly isolated case though.
