Netflix Rules The World — We Just Watch
Netflix expects to release around 80 original films next year, as it looks to hit the kind of scale in movies that it’s achieved on the TV side, according to chief content officer Ted Sarandos. “They range anywhere from the million-dollar Sundance hit, all the way up to something on a much larger scale,†like Will Smith-starrer “Bright,†Sarandos said in an investors’ interview Monday about Netflix’s third-quarter 2017 results. Netflix’s target for original movies next year compares with a 2017 slate of about 50 film titles that it has released or is scheduled to debut globally. Those include comedies, dramas, anime, action movies, and documentaries.
