I'm not too sure about that. Netflix produced 700 original shows in 2018, including many foreign shows, and has 139M world wide subscribers - decline Apr 12, 06:40 25
- Maybe 5 of Netflix’s shows are wide hits is my guess. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 06:50 11
  - *shrug* Netflix doesn't release viewer statistics so there is zero chance of determining what is a wide hit -- (edited) - decline Apr 12, 06:57 2
    - base it on products on the shelves or discussion at water coolers. Stranger Things is obviously huge just because of all the merchandise out there - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 07:00 1
      - (and I love Netflix don't get me wrong) -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 07:04
  - The term "Netflix and chill" exists for a reason. Netflix is there, with adult content, no teens/millennials/Gen Xers are switching without kids. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:53 6
    - 7 bucks a month for a service comprising of many major movies is always a threat to more expensive platforms. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 07:21 4
      - Eh - I'm sure Disney will get plenty of subscribers, but I can't imagine this will put much of a dent in Netflix's current count. nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 07:23 3
        
        I think Netflix is approaching a point where the talk does, “I can pay 7bucks and get all that or 15-20 and get a lot more that I’m not interested in. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 07:30
        
        true, some of the other (smaller/less content) streamers though could pay the price. -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 07:25 1
        
        THIS I can see. But I don't see this hurting Netflix much at all. Especially since they're continually releasing their own content. -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 07:30
    - It's because there wasn't a viable alternative. I get that you don't have kids and dislike most Marvels movies, but... - Shaun Apr 12, 06:55
  - and they just lost all their Marvel shows which was a big draw. -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:52
- yeah but how many of their shows are Marvel, Pixar or Star Wars? Maybe Stranger Things...and that's it... -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:48
- Second sentence of your IM is what got me. Maybe I'm dead wrong, but unless you have kids, the appeal for adults seems very limited. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:42 11
  - They own like 3 of the 4 biggest mass culture aspects going - Will Hunting Apr 12, 06:49 6
    - But what about people who have all the Marvel and Star Wars shit on DVD/Vudu. I have no desire to pay for Star Wars and Marvel again. nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 07:39 3
      - I don’t think it’s a slam dunk but if anything is, this is close. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 07:47
      - but all the new stuff. Like I mentioned going forward I can buy Capt Marvel and IW2 blu rays for $50 or get almost a year of Disney+ - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 07:46 1
        
        um, but it's 60 bucks *per year* where as the 50 is a onetime charge - Also that's 60 bucks a year to rent those movies -- nm - decline Apr 12, 07:54
    - I'm fine being wrong, but I think people are way overestimating the value of those on a streaming platform. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:54
    - ABC and FOX too. -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 06:53
  - yup, I have zero interest in getting this -- nm - decline Apr 12, 06:43 3
    - I'm in my early 30s and have zero interest too. In discussing with friends/colleagues except for a few with kids it got the same response. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:45 2
      - Also, having the name Disney immediately stigmatizes to making it seem like "non-edgy" content. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:46 1
        
        Obviously you didn’t see the episode of Suite Life of Zack and Cody when they cross dressed. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 07:27
What's the over/under on the number of people who sign up does ST think? 50 Million in the US? 250 million worldwide? -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:35 6
- I think your numbers are way high -- nm - decline Apr 12, 06:41 1
  - - Disney is projecting 60 million to 90 million by 2024 -- (edited) - decline Apr 12, 06:42
- all I can find of Netflix is 139 Million worldwide (60.55 in the US) and that might not be accurate or recent... -- nm* - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:37 3
  - I'll be really curious, I think it's going to be a tough sell. People already have streaming services, and unless they want one specifically for kids. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 06:41 2
    - every nerd in existence will get it. Star Wars, Marvel AND Simpsons, plus lord knows what else to come? I wasn't going to get it but for $6 a month - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:54 1
      - shit I buy the blu rays for most Marvel movies for $25 OR now I can get like 5 months of this service...it is a no-brainer -- nm* - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 06:56
