Netflix Estimated To Spend $12-13 Billion In 2018 - More Than Any Film Studio

[FromStLouis]

$13 Billion?!

It's the new gold rush!

The movie opens on a remote abandoned outpost of the earth colonies, Planet Rybuul
the halfway point between the new world of the elites and the asteroid mining base
Gilgon.

Our hero FromStLouis emerges just over a snowy bank the wind whipping up
his face clothed his eyes protected by thermal radiation goggles...

The camera pans out to show his crashed ship buried meters within the snow.

. . . "Home."

This budget gonna help attract quality directors, scripts, actors...etc

I spend more time browsing than I do watching anything. Their catalog is trash

Like the article said, it took other networks and film studios decades to build themselves up with quality content

Netflix been doing this less than 10 years (since purchasing House of Cards in 2011)

I think Netflix might fukk around and make going to the movies obsolete. I think people will still go but it'll be more like a niche thing, nostalgic type shyt to take the kids or ya girl and just something to do. If MoviePass and services like that don't start poppin up to offer incentives to go to the movies and Netflix keeps producing like this and especially more Blockbusters and Oscar winning productions - I can see the shift happening fast

it wont be them it'll be disney's app.

but the point remains going to the movies is a dying breed.

spending 30+ dollars at the movies with ya girl to get the back of your seat kicked in < chillin at the crib eating cheese eggs steak and welch's grape watching Black Panther 2

Forgot about Disney's app

They really might crush the buildings and even fukk up some of Netflix bread

When that dropping?

If Disney starts producing films straight to their streaming service then it will definitely be a wrap for movie theatres

This. I’m at a point where if I wanna see a movie, I purposefully wait weeks after it came out and go at odd times/days just to reduce the chance of fukkery around me. You always get the repeated coughers, food crunchers, people on phones or the weirdos who could sit anywhere in the theatre but park their dusty ass next to/near you. fukk that.

Would rather rock with my 1080 rips thru Plex and set a damn vibe. Nobody is in a hurry to see these movies anymore so I can wait a couple of months and get that high quality Blu Ray rip and feast.

Can they spend that on some prestige TV? It seems like HBO still holds that quality crown with FX/Showtime coming in second.

HBO has 3x the quality at a fraction of the available content.

13 billion and most of their movies still struggle to get beyond the point of utterly forgettable mediocrity.

TV shows are where it's at these days.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

If they're spending $13 billion, then how much are they pulling in?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

All the creators need to get on deck. If you have a script or are a small budget film maker, consider getting something together and submiting it to netflix.

Might do a reality show myself

Spend half that shyt on getting movies back on the platform!
