The companies that produce entertainment have been filled with mediocrity as they can not, and in the midst of that substandard quality, there is a beacon that illuminates the clientele. Netflix. And that already begins to see in stock market.
While other companies get into trouble with their customers, Netflix is quietly pushing efforts to create revenue with original content of good quality.
Disney
We have the following dates:
*April 23rd. Infinity war. A blockbuster.
*May 10. Deadpool 2
*April 17 statements by Jon Kasdan about the movie Solo
*May 25 premiere of the movie Solo
*Which of all those events would you imagine would most impact the price of Disney's stock?
Well it seems that the events of May 17 seem to have impacted more. Is that talking about pansexuality (which sexually does everything, women, men, old women, children, plants, inanimate objects, etc) does not seem to agree very much with a Star Wars franchise that they have repeatedly said is for children.
If you look at the figures for the opening weekend of Star Wars films, you see that the attempt to attract controversy towards the film Solo, by screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan, son of Return of the Jedi screenwriter, Lawrence Kasdan only stirred up the water, but not the box office, because sinedo a "spin-off" (history parallel or side to the main story) has obtained half of its predecessor Rogue One. For more INRI, it is believed that the movie Solo must have cost double, because When it was almost finished, they decide to dismiss the directors and do it again. Thus, if the budget was $ 200 million (as in Rogue One), it probably cost about $ 400 million.
A film like The Force Awakens made in world collection 8.3 times the amount of the domestic opening amount. Wonder Woman achieved 8. Then came Rogue One, who made 6.8 times, The Last Jedi, who made 6.1, and now this movie only falls to the middle of the opening week of Rogue One amid terrible controversy and anger from customers . This does not bode well for Disney. Although in the second week he was doing too well with a 40% drop in box office, he will not be able to match the income of Rogue One.
For more INRI, Disney charges 65% of the box office to theaters, and if the movie Solo has cost twice as much as it was supposed to, it would have cost $ 400 to recover $ 615.38 million at the box office. With overly optimistic numbers of a cost of $ 250 million, I would have to raise $ 384.6 million. It should be noted that this is only production budget. The marketing cost that usually doubles the production figure is missing. The US and Canada did not give good news.
"Walt Disney Co.'s latest offering from the "Star Wars" film franchise opened to disappointing weekend sales in the U.S. and Canada, a rare slip for a movie studio that has dominated the box office for almost three years with serial-type adventures. - 'Solo' Lacks 'Star Wars' Mojo as Film Shows Lackluster Sales"
And in China there is also no good news for Disney Star Wars.
"A Star Wars Story earned just $ 10.1 million in its first frame in China, according to early estimates from ticketing app Maoyan. Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned $ 52 million over a two-day opening frame in 2016 (a number and below Disney's forecasts, sources told THR at the time). A year later, Rogue One slipped to $ 31 million over a full three-day frame, despite co-starring Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen, two of China's biggest actors. - China Box Office: 'Solo' Bombs With Third-Place $ 10.1M Opening"
Disney has begun to play experiments with Star Wars, instead of simply taking advantage of the clientele it already had:
*It has allowed Lucasfilm employees to insult customers. He has called them racist, sexist and all kinds of insults simply for not liking the new movies.
*He has allowed director Rian Johnson to insult the respected Mark Hamill (he called her "motherf *** er")
*He has released stories that look like an imitation of Game of Thrones (from Time Warner), but in a franchise that used to be inspiring and full of values. That has alienated parents a lot and toys are rotting in stores.
*It has allowed screenwriter Kasdan to tell us about pansexuality of a Star Wars character. We do not know if it was to imitate Trump, under the idea that the controversy attracts customers. What happens is that when you put together the idea of sexuality and material for children, something does not fit, and it is from there that there was a drop in the price of Disney shares, which has not been recovered.
So Disney does not seem to be giving us very good news with his Star Wars franchise. Of course, Disney has its Marvel franchise to subsidize Star Wars, but it is also worrying that a Star Wars theme park is under construction, so it is worth wondering if, with that run of angry customers, the theme park will be like the refinery of Enron in India, a ghost town.
Already in the past Disney had problems competing against Don Bluth. He could not compete effectively with his Hadas franchise, against the Italian production Club Winx. It is as if the corporate bureaucracy lulls the quality of the works, which are expensive but do not measure up to compete against the truly competent who tell good stories and give us real art that attracts audiences. In this way the products have a lot of plastic flavor.
Time Warner
While Marvel movies have been making worldwide between 5.9 and 8.2 times the amount of the opening week, Warner with DC Comics superheroes has been doing between 5.3 and 5.7 times before Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman came with amazing 8 times, and then Justice League, which was supposed to be the movie among all the movies, only got 7 times.
From April 17, 2018 the shares fell and have not recovered. If the day is taken out the day before, the news does not seem to be good. Cartoon Network is owned by Time Warner who just released a terribly hated rehash of the 1980s Thundercats series.
"The new version of the legendary animated series Thundercats generated an avalanche of criticism on social networks. What caused so much displeasure? - The new version of the legendary animated series Thundercats generated an avalanche of criticism in social networks. What caused so much displeasure?"
And why is this TV series cool? Is that it was the best in the 1980s. In 2011 they released a rehash in anime that was not so badly drawn, but the audience rejected it. At the end of the first season it was canceled and the toys were not sold.
If you wonder why there could be such a reaction to the rehashing of 2018, just look at images of the characters. Will it be worse than in 2011?
Thus, Time Warner has its botched with Justice League and Thundercats. The worrying thing is not that there have been past problems, but that the selection and creation process works badly, just like with Disney.
Netflix
Having Netflix is like having cable, but via internet. The premium subscription is really cheap and has a lot of content. Previously he had been known to have old movies, but for a while he has been starting to produce original material. You have the convenience of being able to watch movies and series on your mobile and if you have a Playstation 3 at home, you can watch it through your TV set. It is the convenience added to the amount of content.
From Netflix you do not hear anything. You simply enter, and new content appears. It is so much that you do not have time to see everything. It has great Korean series too. The companies Disney, Fox, Comcast and Time Warner, had united to form the platform Hulu, competitor of Netflix. But the presence of Hulu that appears in 2016 does not seem to have an effect on the Netflix shares. Amazon Prime Video does not seem to have had an effect on Netflix either.
This is the story of the last 5 years of Netflix.
We know that Hitler was rejected from the art school. And it seems that this is the same problem as Netflix rivals who spend their time creating products with a cardboard flavor, with some exceptions.
