Five way the Coronavirus pandemic has influenced Netflix

Five Aspects The Pandemic Has Influenced Netflix
  1. Demand is declining-much more than predicted by Netflix

Netflix gained only 2.2 million paying consumers in the 3 months to 30 September, as per its latest figures, as the increase in demand for its services sparked by the disease outbreak faded. The final estimation that came in July showed a decrease of 5% of the company’s share.

Paolo Pescatore, analyst at PP Foresight, announced, “The pandemic streaming gathering has reached a conclusion.”

However, Netflix still tops the list in number of followers with the total of 200 million subscribers.

  1. The Old Guard, gained 78 million views and become the hit within four weeks of its launch

The Netflix original, The Old guard, within four weeks of its launch gained 78 million viewers thereby making it the quarter’s most successful title for the company.

Attracting 76 million, 75 million and 66 million individuals during the first four weeks following their launch, Enola Holmes, Project Power and The Kissing Booth 2 were also successful.

  1. Markets overseas are utterly vital for the business.

Netflix’s number of foreign subscribers has already surpassed those in the US, and growth abroad remains critical.

The fastest growth of subscribers occurred in its Asia Pacific area in the most recent period with 1 million new subscribers and nearly half sign-ups.

In Japan and South Korea, the company boasted that it is now reporting membership in a “double-digit” share of high speed internet-connected homes.

Quibi is shutting down after 6 months of its launch

Quibi is shutting down

Quibi, an American short-form streaming platform, is shutting down its business operations after 6 months of its launch.

It was an abrupt ending for Quibi founded by big names in entertainment and business worlds and seemed poised to reinvent the streaming TV game.

“Quibi was founded to create the next generation of storytelling,” founder and board Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg said in the statement.

“The world has changed dramatically since Quibi launched and our standalone business model is no longer viable.”

The developing Quibi, reportedly raising almost $2 billion with former HP CEO Meg Whitman onboard as its CEO.

“While we have enough capital to continue operating for a significant period of time, we made the difficult decision to wind down the business, return cash to our shareholders and say goodbye to our talented colleagues with grace,” Whitman added in the statement.

In an open letter to “employees, investors and partners” posted online, Katzenberg and Whitman wrote, “Quibi was a big idea and there was no one who wanted to make a success of it more than we did. Our failure was not for lack of trying; we’ve considered and exhausted every option available to us.”

The service launched in April just as COVID-19 was starting to upend the world. Its meltdown has set tongues wagging in the ultra-competitive Hollywood and tech trenches, as Quibi ranks among the priciest misfires of any entertainment-related startup.

However, its failure will put about 200 employees out of work, punctuating an already grueling time for the entertainment sector.

Questions will swirl around the fate of its roster of “quick bite” programming from A-list creators like Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro and Antoine Fuqua and also which investors will take the steepest losses.

Tesla breaks revenue record despite the pandemic

Tesla profit spiked up

The Electric-Car maker Tesla has recorded a major profit spike of a fifth quarter in a row despite the pandemic.

Tesla said it made $8.7 billion revenue in the three months to September, as deliveries rose 54%.

The firm said it still hoped to meet its goal of delivering more than 500,000 vehicles this year but warned this had “become more difficult”. Analysts also warned the firm faced mounting competition.

So far, Tesla has delivered fewer than 32,000 cars to customers this year – but nearly half of those – 139,593 – came in the three months ended 30 September.

That was up 54% from the prior quarter and 44% year-on-year.

The firm’s successful streak has not gone unnoticed by investors who spent years lamenting the firm’s lack of profits.

“I want my films to go to West telling them we’re no less”, Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Nawazuddin Siddiqui

The most talented Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui opens up about his no-interest to work in Hollywood.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui spoke out against the validation actors seek from abroad.

Talking about the name ‘Bollywood’ being inspired from ‘Hollywood’, the Badlapur star joked that we should be thinking about changing the title that we have borrowed from abroad.

“Yes, I want to change one thing, the name ‘Bollywood’ itself. Yeh jo udhaar ka naam le rakha hai, sabse pehle humein yeh badalna chahiye,” he said in an interview.

He further elaborated how many people in the industry only recognize a film’s worth when it bags international honours.

“Yes, this is a fact. A lot of my films would go to international festivals, and even get awards, but when they would release here, they wouldn’t get much response. It’s only when they get the validation from West,” said Siddiqui.

Speaking about his film, ‘Serious Men, he said: “Thank God, we got such a great response, and it connected with people, but if it wouldn’t have, we would have had doubts ‘yeh kya ho gaya’. Then when it would have got some award in the West, it would have been termed good here too.”

Yeh cheez toh hai, but fortunately it didn’t happen with Serious Men. People are liking it here. The validation is needed, especially from the West, and it hasn’t changed.”

He further revealed how he has received offers from Hollywood but nothing has worked out till now.

“Offers do come, but it’s just not materializing. Aisa nahi hai ki mara jaa raha hoon, ya thappa laega unka tab jaake actor kehlaunga. I am not dependent on that, and neither do I want to be. I want my films to go to the West and tell them that we are no less.”
