Netflix Has 175 Days Left To Pull Off A Miracle... Or It's All Over

[The_Sheff]

Exactly what is Disney a monopoly over? It's not a monopoly on comic book movies, on kids shows, on family movies, on theme parks, so what makes it a monopoly.

There is a huge difference between being successful and having a monopoly.

Here’s a list of the five highest-earning movies of 2018:

1. Avengers Infinity War
2. Black Panther
3. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
4. Incredibles 2
5. Bohemian Rhapsody

All except Jurassic World are Disney productions. Clearly, Disney is king of the blockbuster. Over the past six years, its average film has raked in $1.2 billion at the box office.

all that Netflix original content better pan out or it's a wrap. They'll probably have to be a production company

I haven't watched a single movie in Netflix

 

[Vilify]

Netflix is overrated AF.

 

[sayewonn]

I have to admit I've been questioning why do I keep paying for Netflix as of late. Aside from Love, Death, and Robots i haven't watched any of their other original content in almost a year. And when I do want to watch a movie like John Wick its not on there.

Disney got that covered with the NBA contract via ESPN and the own Fox so NFL Sundays are theirs just not FSN. Baseball as well.

I’m just waiting on somebody to get that done aside from Direct TV

Pirating culture is dead in the mainstream? On what planet. I don't know anyone without some sort of firestick or iptv option.

you right

Naw, pirating is nothing like it was 15 years ago. I use to mess with it too but it's so much more convenient just to buy hbonow/starz/showtime/whatever for a month or two. Plus the quality of the pirated streams are usually crap

Picture this…

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+.

 

[Diondon]

Would it be too late to buy a stock? Or should I still buy?

Im using a long term strategy on Disney. When Disney + was announced, the reaction was several points to the upside.
Trade war jitters have caused a slight pull back. Currently its around $132 with a target price of $156
I see no reason to not hold on to it for a minute

 

[OfTheCross]

you know what?...yest, we'll have the bootleg. But Disney ain't worried about us anyway. They care about ppl like the author that actually pay for shyt

 

[Michael's Black Son]

A while back i was saying Apple should buy Netflix since Apple is trying to get into the original content game but now

But im not a finance guy so im strictly talking from a place of ignorance

Buy it for cheap but that debt load is unbearable

Netflix Has 175 Days Left To Pull Off A Miracle... Or It's All Over


Netflix management knows content is king. The company spent $12 billion developing original shows last year. It released 88% more original programming in 2018 than it did the previous year.

And spending on original shows and movies is expected to hit $15 billion this year.

It now invests more in content than any other American TV network.

To fund its new shows, Netflix is borrowing huge sums of debt. It currently owes creditors $10.4 billion, which is 59% more than it owed this time last year.

The problem is that no matter how much Netflix spends, it has no chance to catch up with its biggest rival…

Disney’s cable business has stagnated over the past seven years. But in about 175 days, Disney is set to launch its own streaming service called Disney+.


It’s going to charge $6.99/month—around $6 cheaper than Netflix.

And it’s pulling all its content off of Netflix.

This is a big deal.

Clearly, Disney is king of the blockbuster. Over the past six years, its average film has raked in $1.2 billion at the box office.


So Long Netflix…
Picture this…

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+.

For example, the only place your children or grandchildren will be able to see Toy Story 4 and Frozen 2 may be on Disney+.

Can you imagine how many parents will sign up for this? I’ll certainly be subscribing for my daughter.

At $6.99/month, what family with kids under 12 years wouldn’t subscribe?

Plus, Disney owns 60% of America’s second-largest and fastest-growing streaming service, Hulu.

Disney has shown it can produce movies and shows people want to watch. No competitor comes within 1,000 miles of Disney’s world of content.

Disney’s ownership of iconic franchises like Star Wars gives it something no money can buy.

Meanwhile, Netflix will lose a lot of its best content—and potentially millions of subscribers who switch to Disney+.

While Netflix is running into debt “trying out” new shows, Disney already has the best of the best in its arsenal.​

This propoganda

Like someone cant just go to a streaming site to find a copy.​

Yeah thats the turn off. Apple has a cash reserve that they could pay off the debt but the question is is it worth it? If im Apple im thinking about how to form a strategic partnership or something with Disney. Apple is trying to get into the services game because hardware is pretty much a race to the bottom now.

Of course it’s not worth it. Apple has a long time relationship with Disney along with Disney holding a seat on the Apple board.

I think it would be dope if apple did a Disney streaming x Apple Music bundle

 

[Thingsfallapart]

I watch Netflix for things like mind hunter, stranger things, the killing, seven seconds, the haunting of hill house, lost in space ect.

I couldnt care less about Disney.
