Its dumb to compare a movie ppl can watch as part of a subscription service to movies people consciously pay to go watch in a cinema. 

Why is it dumb? 

 

127 million watched it in its First 6 weeks...

 

Anyways Legend Lopez stays Winning

 

 

 

 

[Digitalism]

I know this probably didn't make as much money as the other movies 

but this positions her well with the GP. 

[Mocha]

[BGood2Me]

It's a good movie

Also The comparison Is between tickets sold on theaters and people watching  a movie on Netflix? Apples with oranges? 

 

People watched 2 minutes of this (counted by Netflix) and forgot about It. Imagine thinking It was bigger than Oppenheimer and a lot of other movies release on theaters 

 

Why you mad? 

Why you trying to make up the receipts

 

Your Pressed as ****?

 

Of you pop 

 

Doesn't matter what you're little fantastical Fiction in your head believes, the Receipts say that you need to wind that neck in and JLo is 3

One example: Netflix reported 249.9 million hours viewed for “The Mother,” the action-hero movie starring Jennifer Lopez as an assassin who emerges from hiding to protect her daughter that hit the streamer May 12. LightShed Partners analysts estimated about 127 million households (and more than 250 million people) watched “The Mother” — in just the first six weeks of its release. That would make it the biggest movie of 2023 after Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Universal Pictures’ “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” in terms of eyeballs.

“In a streaming world, engagement is the north star and direct-to-Netflix feature films are driving an absurd level of engagement,” the LightShed analysts Rich Greenfield, Brandon Ross and Mark Kelley wrote in a blog post.

It’s not possible to do an apples-to-apples comparison of streaming viewers with box-office revenue generated by theatrical releases, as the LightShed team noted. That is, we don’t know how many theatergoers would have paid to see “The Mother” in a cinema. But for Netflix, the equation is different. “With strong engagement relative to a film’s cost that improves the price/value relationship of a Netflix subscription, mitigates churn, and enables future price increases, maybe direct-to-consumer films are blockbusters, just different forms of blockbusters,” the LightShed analysts concluded.

[supaspaz]

It's silly to compare a movie that dropped on Netflix to movies that people actually paid to go see.

Because the metrics are not the same. Barbie’s performance is not measured in no.of households that watched in 6 weeks. Why 6 anyway? So Random.

The full report by Variety takes into account all time views until now @ 250+ million people who watched The Mother. It’s the #1 Netflix film of the year and making the comparison how that makes it a huge blockbuster (on streaming) and the third most watched film of 2023 overall taking into account # people watching films in both streaming and Cinema.

[chiliam]

not them calculate 1 stream = 1 movie ticket

This is giving

1 stream = 1 song sale

1 full album stream = 1 album sale

 

The math is not mathing

Using an equation unilaterally decided by Netflix. I don’t see the viewing hours provided for Barbie or other theatrical releases. This is not even a Jlo issue. It’s Netflix trying to posture next to theatrical blockbusters. They were already exposed for their unverifiable figures during the strike.  No statistician in the world makes a hierarchical list with variables of different units. They should’ve declared it as no1 on Netflix and left it at that.

 

No one’s looking back on 2023 and naming The Mother as a top 3 movie of the year, sorry.

Ok I see your point, but Variety clearly is naming The Mother as top 3 movie of the year. Sorry about it

Not Gal Gadots Red Notice being number 1 

All because of Ryan Reynolds and The Rock.
Her latest Netflix movie didn't do that well.

[Assassin]
