The Fifth Element did ok at the box office though, no? It was in the top 10 for world wide box office results in 1997 — $260 million world wide on a ~$90 million dollar budget.

$63m domestic though, international didn't count for squat back in those days

It was a French production so they were probably ok with the splits

I mean not all the shows are winners, like any other studio/network, but they've backed a lot of really great stuff and there a really nice content platform.

The first Castlevania used all sorts of wacky names inspired by actual people in the credits. Belmont is derived from "Belmondo" (as in: Jean-Paul). I guess it stuck as they started making sequels.

i don't know exactly what it is, but I think they both look very European, which makes sense given that they are both very European. It's a very European movie all around, which is one more reason I think it will be a very good movie that makes about $7 in ticket sales in the US.

I mean, Netflix does kinda suck now, especially compared to just a few years ago. It's basically just another subpar cable movie channel now.

To the vector belong the spoils.
You can basically stream one movie a week, and virtually any movie you want, all by yourself, for roughly the same price as a subscription to Netflix. It's pretty funny.

Neither do a lot of other services, but I'm fine with them existing in the competitive landscape even though I don't use them.

We used to use Netflix for TV shows but cut the cord on several streaming services and cable over the winter, only thing I'm a bit wary of missing now is live sports.

The value in Netflix now is their original content. I thought that was understood? It's pretty stellar stuff.

Even if all their other original content was trash the fact that they made Bong Joon Ho's next film would make up for it.

Beasts of No Nation was also Netflix, as is Scorsese's next film.

Uh that is the opposite of its value. The OC is to tide you over until actual desirable content gets added to streaming.

Netflix isnt a great service but neither are like any of the streaming services and premium channels. Whenever I have Netflix or hbo I always marvel at how much less good content & content in general they have than I expected. Not really worth their costs no
But hell, these days everyone's sharing Netflix accounts anyways and they're also at least putting funding into some fun projects, so imo Netflix is just fine.

It's been like, two months since 13 Reasons Why came out but yeah since then Netflix has totally nosedived in content value at least until their next groundbreaking movie or TV show comes out (which will be in two days when War Machine comes out).

But I mean they don't release enough original content, just all of this.
