Analysis: Greys, but maybe not so grey times
It’s no surprise to say that an ominous cloud hangs over Netflix. The streaming giant’s problems are well-documented at this point, with Netflix canceling many TV shows and laying off hundreds of employees amid its ongoing financial and user-based woes. Note that some of this is self-inflicted, as Netflix is looking to crack down on password sharing. But streamers are hoping to win over viewers by introducing cheaper ad-based subscriptions, and even looking into the prospect of live-streaming their content to deter large numbers of subscribers.
Despite all these issues, Netflix remains the most popular streamer on the planet. Sure, the likes of Disney Plus and HBO Max are closing the gap, but at least for now, Netflix can still boast the fact that it has the largest subscriber base.
As a result, the streaming company still needs to deliver premium content to its 220 million global audience. With Stranger Things Season 4, Part 1 on the way, and a big 2022 movie with highly anticipated films like The Grey, Netflix may be on the verge of a turnaround as we head into summer (or winter, for those in the Southern Hemisphere) months.
So Netflix needs some big wins to get it back on track, and The Greys can help with that. While it wasn’t well-received in November 2021, movies like “Red Notice” – starring some of Earth’s biggest names like Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot –Gives Netflix a huge advantage over its competitors. “Red Notice” became the most popular Netflix original movie of all time, racking up 364 million hours watched in 18 days despite mixed reviews. No movie about Netflix’s streaming rival comes close to that figure, and much of its success is due to those who star in it.
If The Greys can pull off similar feats, it could very well be the biggest streaming movie of the summer (read: Winter Below the Equator). If the effort is successful, Netflix may breathe a sigh of relief as it basks in the light of another smash hit original movie.
