I'm not surprised by the one week release. I am surprised by the 3.5 week break before it hits streaming. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 15:00 4
- That's what they had to agree to in order to get AMC and Regal on board. A 30 day theatrical window. -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 29, 15:32 1
  - so even extra dickish to not make $100m+ during the full window just . . . because -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 15:37
- Yup. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 29, 15:00 1
  - Yikes, I didn't know that detail. Big piracy window. -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 15:05
also told exhibitors not to trumpet that it made a killing on just 600 screens with no real marketing push . . . or else -- (link) - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:34 12
- Wouldn't "the only way to see this smash hit now is to sign up for Netflix" be good marketing? -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:41 11
  - i personally don't think features drive subscriptions over the long haul as much as series, but when DVDs were still a thing, exhibition was basically - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:45
  - No, that's a way to get a lot of ppl into 30 day free trials and then drop you -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 14:43 9
    - I don’t think Netflix does free trials much these days. -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 15:13 2
      - Netflix does not offer free trials, but you have the freedom to change your plan or cancel online at any time if you decide Netflix isn't for you. - rollo Nov 29, 15:16 1
        
        sure, but people are lazy and forgetful. plenty of people will just sign up and let it ride. -- nm - mafic Nov 29, 16:39
    - To have any chance to hold onto a subscriber at all they have to entice them to sign up in the first place. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:50 3
      - IMO the long-tail of their entire library is what gets/keeps subscribers, not the latest addition to it. They should get as much exhibition money up - rollo Nov 29, 15:04 2
        
        there was a reason Netflix paid $100m to keep Friends for one extra year before it got siloed on HBO Max. their biggest performers were always legacy - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 15:26 1
        
        Yup the original gets you to sign up since those are what get the marketing push, the legacy stuff gets you to stay once you are already there -- nm - con_carne Nov 29, 16:14
    - I bet the 30 day trials are going to go away OR be modified so that the latest projects aren't accessible. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 14:44 1
      - a bunch here are a week free only now (Paramount+) -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 15:04
not surprised. The theatre I went to see it in easily doubled the Sunday shows as the weekend went on. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 14:26
fuckers -- nm - mud Nov 29, 14:25
