Netflix makes its franchises profitable
As we have already seen, Netflix intends to take full advantage of the potential of its flagship franchises. If it does not yet intend to launch amusement parks like Disney, the creation of ephemeral events like Stranger Things: The Experience is an opportunity to bring together fans of the saga around the world and to diversify the sources of income.
On this subject, Matthew Thunell, vice-president of Netflix, in particular at the origin of Stranger Thingsrecently explained: “We want our own Star Wars or Harry Potter, and we’re working very hard on that. But these things don’t happen with the snap of a finger. There are shows like Stranger Things that are hugely popular and hold enough mythology and side plots to allow us to push the show forward into anime, live-action or animated movies. »
