    I don't think Ted said anything unstable or significant outside of an interview and the letter they sent out.

    Pages like DiscussingFilm collected other quotes of his over the years and dropped it all at once after the deal was made so they could get clicks and get people talking.

    I saw people like Grace Randolph mentioning his comments about Barbieheimer on her recent vid as if he just said that, but that comment was nearly 2 years ago. Still bad comments, but a CEO isn't gonna yap like that during an active deal

    I mean he didnt say anything but I feel like people would actually be on netflixs side if they actually sided with theatres. Once he said things about release windows people put 2 and 2 together you dont need further statements

    Lmao Netflix removed all Palestinian content and have a show where the protagonist is an IDF agent and the antagonist is Palestinian

    Doubt it closes until early 2027. Regulator fight and lawsuits to deal with

    Both are terrible

    If both are terrible politically I’m going with the option where movie theaters still exist

    “Controlling that much media” and the media is MTV, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network.

    I hate to break it to you about who already owns and controls all the existing media and social media. It’s Zionazi MAGAs all the way down

    You're being purposefully obtuse by acting like it's just MTV, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network again, the issue is the further consolidation of media, amplified by it being the Elisons.

    It's Zionazi MAGAs all the way down

    This is lazy a***ysis. Netflix is obviously not pro-Palestine but they have way less of a vested interest in doling out fascist propaganda and making Spiderman wear the Israeli flag compared to the Elisons.

    This is true

    They’ve already said they’ll release 30 movies a year which equals the output of two studios

    Like it’s bad don’t get me wrong but this won’t lead to end of theaters . Theater quality needs to improve either way

    You're a dumbass

    Can't wait for the next Israeli blockbuster, but it'll be in theatres so it's all good

    That all sounds good on paper but whose to say they'll even stick to that promise. Not picking a side but big companies like this say anything to make themselves look good and or gain positive favor .

    If you look at the box office of Warner brother movies after the two weeks do you think shortening the window would entirely end theaters ? AMC stubs still makes money and other movies

    Pause the hyperbole and look at the top grossing worldwide films this year and be serious

    A significantly less amount of people would've gone to see the top movies this year if they knew they'd be on Netflix after 2 weeks. So you can't just take the 2 week box office totals and assume that it would be the same if they went to netflix after 2 weeks and that was built into the promo and release
