The streaming platform will reduce the number of original films after analyzing the results
There was a time when those responsible for Netflix they spoke the number of original films and series they produced each yearsetting an annual ‘quantitative’ challenge that, in many cases, translated into ‘qualitative’ results, at least questionable. Thus, in January 2021 the platform streaming, through its representatives, announced that it planned to release 70 films that year. The objective was achieved, but at what cost.
It is true that there was at least one new film every week, but the catalog of Netflix began to be filled with clone comedies and thrillers more typical of the after-dinner. There were exceptions, of course, but also a lot of money that was not used to make quality films with which to compete against the big Hollywood studios. For this reason, Netflix just confirmed a policy change.
Now quality will prevail among Netflix movies that arrive from 2024
Scott Stubbersection director Netflix Filmexplained that they have been carried out adjustments in film production after in previous years the policy was totally contrary: “At first we were developing a new study; We had only been there for a few years and we were facing century-old companies, so we asked ourselves… What is your business model? And for a while we just made sure we had enough volume“explains the manager, admitting that this perspective could have been a mistake, but without saying so directly in these statements.
In this sense, Scott Stubber assures that “At this time, we are not trying to reach a certain number of films. We want to make projects that we believe in and present a list with which to say: ‘this is the best version of a romantic comedy, a thriller, a drama…“. In this way, instead of the 50 films per year that would have arrived in 2023 (I assure you that the figure will be even higher if we count European products), The objective will be to produce between 25 and 30 film productions each year.
Now, the negative part of this 180 degree turn is that films like invisible agent 2confirmed by itself Netflixcould be canceled due to this new creative policy that affects the cinematographic field of the platform. streaming.
