The Netflix Original Movie Experiment Has Failed — and Netflix Will Be All the Better for It indiewire.com/features/comme…

Frazzled by Netflix's movie strategy.
Engagement isn't growing, yet they cut releases dramatically and now plan to put their biggest releases in theaters, which will undoubtedly cut into their engagement, particularly at launch.
KPop Demon Hunters 2 will be less impacted but a movie like Narnia? Will that even get into Netflix's all-time top 10? Is the press around its box office potentially tanking worth it?

Netflix is giving its Spanish-language Oscar hopeful “La Bola Negra” the longest theatrical release (47 days) in the streamer’s history.
The queer epic was originally slated to open in theaters Nov. 6 ahead of a Dec. 4 streaming bow. The film will now arrive in theaters Oct. 16 and land on Netflix Dec. 2, a 47-day exclusive window and the widest theatrical commitment the company has given one of its titles to date.

Want to know what kind of movies Netflix is making over the next few years? A massive new report from The Insneider just revealed what Netflix is planning to make.
> Quality > Quantity: The target is now just 30 original movies a year.
> Action movies are going back to grounded, '90s/early 2000s-style thrillers. Heavy CGI space operas are out.
> Comedy Swings: They want massive star vehicles (Sandler/Hart) OR cheap, sub-$20M comedies aimed at specific audiences (the North Star is Superbad).
> Family Tentpoles: Searching for big 4-quadrant adventures like Jurassic Park and high-concept comedies like Mrs. Doubtfire.

The streaming model is built on the back of TV. Film libraries still matter, but not as much as the industry once thought.
