Ted SarandosExecutive Director NetflixHe again made him with rather sharp comments about the relevance of Hollywood. But not only about the film industry as a whole, but also about the real cinema. His words give what to talk about, and correctly.
During your participation in Time100 SummitThey asked the leader Netflix whether his company Hollywood destroyed. This, based on several arguments, among which the income of income, reduction of projection time and the growing amount of production that Los -Angeles refuses to ride in other places.

“We save Hollywood. The big difference is that Netflix is a company that is very focused on consumers. Yes, we want us to give you programs the way you want to see them, and that these are programs that you love and want. Therefore, we do not allow many of these external forces to stand, ”said Saraondos. And he added: “A clear example of this is what is happening with the fall of the box office. What do consumers mean to us? Who wants to watch movies at home. And educational and cinemas are fighting for maintaining the window [de proyección] 45 days that are completely inappropriate with user experience. “
According to the head of Netflix, going to the cinema is an outdated idea

For example, in 2024 he argued that Barbie And Oppenheimer They would be as successful in Netflix as in cinemas. “Both films would be great for Netflix. Definitely, they would enjoy a large audience in Netflix. I do not think that there are any reason to believe that certain types of films work or not. There is no reason to believe that the film itself is better in the size of the screen for all people. My son is the editor. Arabia Lawrence On his mobile phone, ”he said then.
