for AMC, isn't it more they thought having their own streaming service would offset cord cutting. If they made their shows and sold them

to the big hitters it wouldn't of been nearly as bad would it?

AMC had such a small selection to start their own streamers, but they would make a shit ton of money renting out TWD, etc to Netflix, Apple, Disney, Amazon etc and they could do it over and over again

Responses:

more people binged Mad Men and BB on Netflix when they were there for years. but Lionsgate really controls Mad Men so they can resell it to Amazon for - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 10:24 1
- It's a licensing nightmare! -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 10:39
From an ROI perspective it's a no-brainer -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 09:51 8
- Unless they wanted to be NFLX. But if they want to be NFLX then they have to compete with NFLX -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 09:51 7
  - right, but as pixie said not many have the money OR time to burn to keep up with them -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 09:53 6
    - COVID, ironically, didn’t help in the long run. added to the reality distortion field that the binge watching lifestyle would carry over afterward -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 10:10
    - And honestly, it’s not a guarantee Netflix is going to succeed either. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 10:03 3
      - NFLX has a market cap of $125Bn and makes $10 / share in EPS. They have already won -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 10:13 2
        
        They nosedived stock wise on a slight fade on subscriber count. They’re peak at the moment. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 29, 10:21
        
        but all their eggs (for now) are in the subscriber basket. cord cutting for streaming is likely to occur exponentially faster than it did for cable -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 10:18
    - Which is why it was dumb -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 09:56
(like what the CW does/did with Netflix) -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 09:50 1
- rollo pretty much said this on B2 (sorry I missed it originally) -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 09:51
