Christopher Spicer Quoted by MarketWatch on 2018 Netflix 80-Film Slate
Contact:
Akin Gump entertainment partner Christopher Spicer was quoted by MarketWatch for its article “Hollywood has never seen competition like Netflix,” on Netflix’s plan to release 80 films in 2018, a move the article characterizes as incredibly ambitious and aggressive by Hollywood standards.
Spicer said of the planned release slate, “It’s a big number. I’m even more blown away by the [budget] numbers…$90 million for a film that’s not going to be released in theaters seems crazy.”
He added that Netflix is appearing more like a Hollywood studio, except for different metrics compared to other studios.
