När Zack Snyder medverkade på The Joe Rogan Experience nyligen kom samtalet in på hans senaste Sci-fi film Rebel Moon som släpptes på Netflix och att fler personer antagligen sett hans film än Barbie på bio. Han hyllar Netflix upplägg och säger så här:
"You think about Netflix, for instance, where you push a button. Rebel Moon, right? Say right now it's almost at 90 million views, right? 80 or 90 million accounts turned it on, give or take. They assume two viewers per screening, right? That's the kind of math. So you think if that movie was in the theater as a distribution model, that's like 160,000,000 people supposedly watching based on that math. 160,000,000 people at $10 a ticket would be...what is that math? I don't know. 160,000,000 times ten. That's 1.6 billion. So more people probably saw Rebel Moon than saw Barbie in the theater, right?"
Filmen Barbie tjänade in runt 1,446 miljarder dollar så enligt Snyders uträkningar om en biobiljett kostar 10 dollar så betyder det att hela 144,6 miljoner personer betalade för att se filmen på bio. Han hade även detta att säga om Netflix:
"That's how crazy Netflix is. That's the distribution model that they've set up. I was at this thing the other day, and we were talking about Rebel Moon 2. And they were like, 'Well, talk about Rebel Moon, the first one.' I'm like, 'No, go f****ing watch it. I know you have it at your house.' It's not like a theater situation. You could turn it on your phone right now and watch it right here if you wanted. That's how crazy it is. This model, this machine they've built, is really something else. It's really crazy if you think about it."
Så ja, Zack Snyder är mycket nöjd med sitt samarbete med Netflix.
