Is Netflix Doomed? (Disney is Coming!)

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

This take is so dumb I'm surprised it didn't originate from a couple folks who post here frequently.

A take from the one that Flows

 

[Ironman]

Na it’s not. They just trynna start panic and immobilize the Flow niccas that got so much hate for Disney for the oddest reasons.

Like no one hates or hate any other streaming service for existing or even pulling shyt but the moment Disney for involved it’s an issue.

This fake anger

Disney a borderline monopoly with the moves they've made that's not wrong. Eventually this streaming service bubble will burst but right now Disney has mostly nostalgia going to that service with a few mcu new shows and Star wars which is fine both can coexist.

Don’t sleep on Sony and Comcast..... dont they own A BUNCH of shyt and things that Disney ain’t even tapping into?

You know they just bought Fox, right?

If that includes FX then cool but the mainstay live-action Fox programming is trash.

 

[Ribbs]

Disney puts a blockbuster like Avengers Endgame on its platform the same day it opens in theaters.

After a few weeks it’s no longer in theaters. You can’t buy it. You can’t rent it. The only way to watch is to subscribe to Disney’s steaming service, Disney+.

This sounds like a pipedream from an intern, there's no way they would do this with any comic book movie in the works. But an animated movie? With a cheaper budget and that isn't a franchise? Maybe but not any time soon.

And Netflix isn't doomed but I'm sure they'll be watching what D+ does that they don't. The original programming with the MCU and Star Wars is already groundbreaking but NF didn't give Ryan Murphy and Shondra Rhimes all that money for nothing. But if D+ start releasing numbers in that first quarter of production and we all know....

Spoiler

Then there's reason for concern. Til then just wait.

It’s everything except FSN regional networks and Fox News.

Netflix needs to improve the quality of their own productions.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Season 2 of Black Lightning is already on Netflix and season 4 of Legends will be on there on the 28th(8 days after the finale aired)

Maybe but it was reported that WB/CW gonna start pulling they shyt off of there.

Sorry I can’t currently provide the link but that was reported and I’m not making that up

Not just Disney but other major companies too.

Netflix might just be left with its original content.

To their credit ,the saw this coming a while ago given how much they invested in original content over the years.

How well their original content hold ups will be the key.

 

[Mr. McDowell]

Netflix has to improve their programming, but the one thing that hurts the traditional studios is if cable goes the way of the dodo, they are going to have divest their interest from all of these networks which may cost billions of dollars or bankruptcy holdings. I don't envy them there. A lot of jobs will be lost.

I am not sure how valuable ESPN would be as a strictly streaming outlet because I would only pay for NBA League Pass and watch March Madness on the app.

To me Amazon is the most stable of all these companies next to Disney and Netflix. Apple would be as well if they weren't so caught up on being PG streaming and the damn ecosystem crap (although I do admit they have a ton of cash).

Netflix tops 200 million subscribers but faces growing challenge from Disney Plus

After upending the DVD-rental industry, Netflix introduced the then-revolutionary concept of streaming TV shows and films 14 years ago. At that time, its service had a mere 6 million subscribers.

The streaming service began to grow rapidly seven years ago when Netflix started producing its own shows and accelerated a worldwide expansion that now spans more than 190 countries. Since the February 2013 debut of its first original series, "House of Cards," Netflix has attracted more than 170 million additional subscribers.

Netflix gained another 37 million subscribers last year, a 22% increase from 2019. Its stock fared even better, rising by 67% last year. The Los Gatos, California, company now boasts a market value of more than $220 billion.

For all its success, Netflix still faces challenges in the coming years from a bevy of deep-pocketed rivals, with perhaps the most formidable posed by a more experienced and even larger entertainment company: Walt Disney Co.

After deciding to stop licensing its library to Netflix, Disney introduced its own video streaming service 14 months ago. The service, Disney Plus, has proven far more popular than anyone imagined, accumulating nearly 90 million subscribers in its first year, emboldening the company's management to predict that it will boast as many as 260 million subscribers at some point in 2024.

"It is super impressive what Disney has done," Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings said in Tuesday video discussion with investors. "It gets us fired up about increasing our membership and increasing our content production."

To retain and attract subscribers, Netflix already had been spending so much money on original programming that the company usually ends up shoveling out more cash than its video services bring in from its subscribers, although it has remained profitable under the accounting standards allowed in the entertainment industry.

What's crazy is Disney + is like one of the worst streamers when it comes to library. Warner/HBOMAX needs to go international ASAP they leaving a lot of skrilla on the table.
