Interesting. Will the Spider-Man films go to Disney+ after?

[bttrsondaughter]

Probably not unless they strike a deal and even then I think they would probably go on Hulu and not Disney+

[scriptedending]

So glad they're not doing what everyone else is doing and making their own streaming service, because we already have too many!! And I'm glad their deal is going from Starz to Netflix bc I already subscribe to Netflix.

None of the upcoming titles are doing much for me - like, I enjoyed the recent Jumanji films but I don't really care if there's another one or not - but I am curious to see what they add from Sony's back catalog.

I’m glad we avoided Sony+

Well Sony DOES have...

Crackle.

Lol, this is what I was thinking too.

IMagine if they'd announced that they were going to renovate the Playstation Store or whatever other service they own.

Ooo this definitely will help. I kinda felt like it was starting to die off bc of the millions of other services. Hbomax >>>>>>>>>> tho

I think as long as they keep the global audience engaged Netflix is gonna be fine, most newer services are too focused on only the US market.

i would say i use hulu more than the others i have access to, but max is pretty good

[violentinviolet]

This. I signed up for the free trial of HBO Max solely to watch Wonder Woman, but now it's the streaming service I watch the most.

This pandemic really advanced the power of the streaming platform cause this was predicted happening in like 5-10 years from now.
