Godly Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 After testing out a split release this year with the two Volumes, how should Netflix distribute the final season of its biggest show ever to maximize its success? I definitely think at least the series finale should be released by itself after the rest of the season and marketed as one of the biggest TV events of all time, I also wouldn't be surprised if they planned to release it in cinemas which would be a serve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourtwink Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 i think they should release it in three parts; volume 1, volume 2, and then give the series finale a limited theatrical release before putting it on streaming. i just know literally every single screening would be sold out. it would be an EVENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The season should take place during the holiday season of 1989 and be released during the holiday season of 2023: - it would tie with the fall/winter aesthetics of the first two seasons - it would be the time jump that the Duffer brother have already confirmed - it would be the last year of high school for the kids - holiday season 2023 has both Christmas and New Years falling on 3-day weekends, just like with season 4 having dropped during Memorial Day weekend and 4th of July - all ST seasons are centred around a specific holiday - holiday season 1989 was the last month of the 80s and it would leave Stranger Things in the 80s just like the duffers intended - the entire season could drop on the Friday before Christmas Day and the final episode on New Years, with a world wide theatrical release.

Netflix has said they’re planning a spin off for ST. If that’s the case, a theatrical release and money from the tickets could generate funding for the spin off.

Even those Oscarbait movies they put in to qualify for US awards, they release as limited as possible and don't report the numbers.

I think their beliefs are changing. We are already seeing them doing this volumes thing with multiple shows, and if they’re looking at competitors like Disney+ (who release episodes on a weekly basis) then theyre seeing the advantages of that approach. If your subscribers have to wait a week in between new episodes, they are locked in for another month if the series is still ongoing and crosses over the subscription renewal time at the end of each month. It’s anti consumer, but better for their business to stop releasing shows all at once. If they can lock you in for more months (for users who subscribe specifically to binge a show for one month and then cancel), then they can also reduce the current subscription cost for everyone and better compete Edited July 3, 2022 by youreyesgocold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariananext Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Weekly like Euphoria would be great, the build up and the theatrical finale as well, such a collapse. I love the show but binge watching it is too much for me, it gets overwhelming after one or two episodes, the latest ones were over a hour and a half, that's basically a movie.

SaintWest Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Maybe they have enough story for another full season, but at this point, with how long it takes to film series, I would rather just a 2 part film like Vol 2. Otherwise we're waiting until 2024 at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
