Action-Adventure Russos' and Hemsworth's "Extraction" (Netflix)

[StarLord]

The car chase sequence reminded me of a video game when the next level starts and you're in the thick of it.

Overall I didn't mind this though. Certainly not the worst output from N.

Interesting, so how does this work in terms of profit for Netflix movies then, as this seems to be considered a big success.

Netflix profits come from subscribers, plain and simple. The way they make money on a big hit is if it brings in more subscribers. Obviously if something gets a lot of views for them, it's also helping to justify subscriptions and keep people on the hook. Which is also why they cancel shows even if they have a solid loyal fanbase because they feel they've stopped bringing in NEW subscribers. So they figure if, say, people have been subscribed for over 3 years to watch Daredevil, they've likely found other things to watch besides Daredevil in the interim to justify paying monthly for a subscription, and therefore would remain subscribed even if they cancel Daredevil. That's a big difference between the network model and the streaming model. Networks LOVE a dependable steady fanbase, and they expect the numbers for a show to decline after it hits it's peak buzz somewhere in S2-5, but they're cool with that as long as the ratings plateau and can sustain a steady number of loyal viewers that they can guarantee their advertisers. Because advertisers pay by the program. Streaming subscribers don't. With Netflix, they stop caring once a show is no longer bringing buzz/new eyeballs.

Thanks, I thought so with the subscriber thing but I thought possibly with the movies they get a little extra out of it. While the movies don't have huge budgets, they still cost money to make.

The director has been talking about doing a sequel set before or after. I wouldn't be in a rush to see it, but I would probably watch a sequel/prequel at some point.

If it’s on Netflix I’ll watch it. Literally don’t have to leave my couch.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Just waste time.

Yeah that is the good thing about having Netflix.

That just adds to the stupidity of that ending, sheesh.

Eh, not overly excited but will probably watch it from my couch at some point.

 

[killface]

They just took a giant dump on the ending

 

[HammerDown]

Not surprised that they’re going to do a sequel. It had a decent reception critically and it’s a massive hit with Netflix.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Except nobody really liked it. It’s a hit cause it’s the only new “big” thing around while everybody is stuck at home.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Except nobody really liked it.

How do you know that??

Granted I haven't seen the movie yet but it must have done something right to get record breaking views. The movie has major appeal in the Asia Pacific belt. 6 Underground was an afterthought in North America but it did big numbers in the Asia Pacific region and I suspect Extraction did similar or even bigger numbers.

The only people who didn't like it are in this thread.

 

[Prison Mike]

I enjoyed it...

Nobody? I didn't get the memo that you spoke for the world.
A lot of people in this thread seem to have enjoyed it. And the movie becoming a Netflix hit maybe has also to do with the fact that the action, choreography and the way it's shot is being praised by "everyone".

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah I enjoyed it, but this sequel talk is definitely surprising. I'll watch it but it feels so unnecessary IMO, especially after how this one ended.

 

[Prison Mike]

They’re not sure if it will be a prequel or a sequel yet

 

[killface]

Make it a prequel and call it Infiltration

 

[TheVileOne]

They will probably try and retroactively turn it into a John Wick series for Hemsworth, but we'll see.

Nothing about the movie screams sequel or franchise to me at all.

 

[Da-Scribe]

There’s an entire Bangladeshi drug cartel that surely wants Tyler’s and Nik’s heads. Sequel talk seems obvious to me.

 

[TheVileOne]

Spoiler

I think the impression was that Tyler was possibly still alive and that was him at the pool at the end.
