Estimated profit of $ 891 million “composite game” for Netflix
It is estimated that the Korean series “Composite Game” could soon bring a lot of profit to Netflix.
Theater News Base: The Korean drama series “Composite Game”, which quickly became the biggest show in Netflix history, could soon bring huge profits to the company, citing its own internal estimates.
Netflix paid $ 21.4 million to make the nine-episode series, which aired four weeks ago. The company ‘s leaked media estimates show that Netflix estimates it will make 40 times the $ 891 million profit from the series.
Netflix on Friday fired one of its employees for downloading and sharing the company’s internal data, which is contrary to its policies. The data was linked to Dave Chapelle’s new “composite game” and stand-up comedy.
One of the reasons the Netflix employee leaked the data is said to have been that he wanted to tarnish the company’s image because Netflix had paid $ 24.1 million more for the stand-up Dave Chapel.
Published data show that in the first 23 days since “Combined Game” aired on September 17, 132 million households watched the series for at least two minutes. About 89% of the audience watched at least 75 minutes, which is equivalent to more than one episode, and 66% or 87 million households watched the entire series.
Overall, Netflix users spent more than 1.4 billion hours watching the “composite game” in those 23 days.
