Netflix was smart and lucky for their transitioning. One of the movie studios would be smart to partner with them. Personally I dont watch them but Netflix needs to get some sports original content. Actual stockcar racing, wrestling, mma but like the NFL. Real stockcars raced by non professionals, no nascar teams. Have brackets. Small, sedans, sports, exotic, trucks, open including drag. 100miles tops. New show each week. Buy one of the smaller wrestling outfits and give them more production. Mma, start with 12 cities. Teams from each one. Male and female. Weight divisions. Have it like a hs wrestling match. |

Agreed. And I’ll bet sports comes next for them. There are rumors they want to bid for the NFL. |

The reason why activations are up is because HBO finally made an agreement with Amazon Fire, which represented more than 40% of their subscriber base.

Netflix has a massive debt load along with a brand new 13 story building and a new 23 story building and campus that are sitting empty.
They’ve been undergoing internal reorganization and they’ve come under fire lately for trying to poach executives at the other major studios, so they’re not exactly in good standing around town. Studios aren’t going to “partner” with Netflix when they have their own streamers and distribution outlets. |

They might bid on Sunday Ticket, which only requires a streaming distribution network and not production but again, it’s counter-intuitive to their model. And considering they’ve raise their monthly packages, Sunday Ticket would most certainly come with a a premium subscription, which would be a big gamble for them that most likely, wouldn’t pan out. |

Implodeing at some point? Their entire strategy seems to be “throw everything against the wall and see what sticks”. A lot of their programming is cheap garbage, but they do have a lot of worthwhile stuff too. |

Netflix has zero experience with live sports productions and to do so would come with a massive startup cost and very little in the way of new subs, especially as they continue to raise their monthly. |

Of course they'll continue to have "cheesy" content because Content is King. That's why you'll see shitty Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson movies; Netflix needs content of all kinds to fill time. Same with Amazon (which has far more cheesy offerings than Netflix IME), Hulu and so on. |

The construction on the 23 story tower began in late 2018 and it's called The Academy on Vine. The build has a giant "A" and it looks like the Avengers building in shape. I couldn't find any recent pictures so I'll try to take a pic in the next few weeks but here's a picture mid-construction: |

HBO Max and now Disney have decided to release feature films simultaneously to their services and movie theaters.

They're paying $300 million per year for broadcast rights with some games appearing on ABC while the majority will be on ESPN. |
