consumer movies netflix premiere
Why not premiere movies on Netflix the same day they're opening in theaters? Listen to the consumer; give the consumer what they want.
consumer format massive movies shows watch year
It's a massive consumer frustration around the world about how long they have to wait after the U.S. to see television shows and movies. In the U.S., there's the frustration of having to wait a year to watch a movie in the format that you choose.
alter changed consume content people radically stories
What if you could radically alter the way stories get told? What if the way people wanted to consume content actually changed what you could make?
consumers great networks source studios
I think being a partner with the studios and networks and, more importantly, being a great source for consumers to watch that programming is always going to be a part of our programming mix.
business complete consumers last season
Our value proposition to consumers is so much more about completeness than freshness. Having the complete season is so much more valuable, in our business model, than having last night's episode.
cast enormous entirely everywhere expect given heavy latin location maybe shot success throughout
We expect 'Narcos' will be an enormous success throughout everywhere in the world and maybe out-index in Latin America, given the Brazilian star and Brazilian director and heavy Latin American cast and that we shot the show entirely on location in Colombia.
both creator received
The star of 'Narcos' and the director and creator of 'Narcos' are both Brazilian superstars. So Brazil has received 'Narcos' particularly well as it's been well-received around the world.
based business episode great might minutes next television until waiting watching wrapped
The television business is based on managed dissatisfaction. You're watching a great television show you're really wrapped up in? You might get 50 minutes of watching a week and then 18,000 minutes of waiting until the next episode comes along.
fantastic hidden opportunity screens time
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is not a direct-to-video, low-budget sequel: it's a big film. And it'd be fantastic to have the opportunity to see it on the IMAX screens at the same time, and IMAX has made arrangements with us for that to happen.
amount brings hotel incentives jobs maryland meals nights production resulted series state
The tax incentives in place for 'House of Cards' in Maryland have resulted in hundreds and hundreds of jobs and not just for actors, but for carpenters and waitresses and hotel workers. The amount of hotel nights and meals that the production of a television series brings to a state is staggering.
anxious business forms open
We are anxious and open to all forms of doing business in China.
cable closer hbo
We're closer to HBO than we are to the entire grid of cable on demand.
access bad owners people power studios withhold
Theater owners are exerting a lot of power over the studios to withhold access to content that people want to see. That's bad for consumers, that's bad for studios, and ultimately, I think it will be bad for theaters.
life tv writers
Typically on a TV series, the writers on a show are writing for their life almost every episode. When someone sits down to write a Netflix show, they know there's going to be a 13th hour.
