I think that's good

I'd rather pay for 1 streaming service than 2

Netflix should look into buying all of them maybe and monopolizing entertainment

Netflix is gaining wayyyy too much power

This is the walmart dilemma we were all taught in school

Damn I forgot about Blu-ray’s. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen anymore under Netflix

Damn this thread was doom and gloom when the initial Discovery merger happened and that kind of turned out okay

Only select Criterion Editions like they let GDT do

I feel like y’all are looking at this too much as a merger rather than acquisition

WB and its studios wouldn’t just become Netflix. Their core functions as theatrical studios could very well just stay as Netflix figures out its new identity as the owner of all of these things it’s never had before

“The Batman II premiering on Netflix with a limited time theatrical run.”

Better than the Disney and Paramount timeline

Still feels bleak tho

this is an L for theaters unless they come out and reassure me. I will crash out if they make the batman ii or dune messiah some f***ing premier on netflix with limited releases in theaters.

objectively this is not good right

yeah

This kind of f***s with the wrestling TV landscape too

WWE is currently under a 10 year deal with Netflix that ends in 2035

AEW is currently under a 3 year deal with WBD

Now it’s entirely possible that AEW moves their deal to the new cable company since that’s going to become a separate entity. Or WB won’t pick up the option and AEW will have to find a new home for their shows.

Yeah it’s bad

Just marginally better than Paramount

As much as Warner Bros top brass is a whole entire mess...fucking Netflix?

Surely theirs way more money in theatrical, especially now owning these IPs. I refuse to believe they’ll be that dumb and let Disney etc own the theaters.

I mean yeah but in the grand scheme of things discovery is small time

This is next level s***

It’s likely those films would be safe regardless because of existing contracts with exhibitors

Remember Netflix did strike up that 4 week IMAX deal for Narnia

I dont think Netflix gonna stop theatrical release. They themselves want to venture more into that

Or AEW vs WWE on Netflix

You gotta be really dumb or really naive to believe that’s an actual possibility

The problem was who else were we left with that was viably realistic ?

Netflix is all about streaming they ve been reluctant to even release sure fire hits like the knives out movies for more than one single weekend even when it makes good money that weekend

DVDs and blue rays gonna be out the window cuz they gonna just wanna reroute everyone to the Netflix app

Apple made F1, and that made Six hundred million at the box office. If Netflix released Frankenstein theatrically like a week before Halloween, do you know how much money they would have made? They make a lot of questionable decisions.

Lmao they don’t care about respect in the industry. They want to own the industry. They’d buy the Academy Awards if they could just so they wouldn’t have to put their movies in theaters for qualifying runs
