Bright

Netflix spent huge amounts of money on these bombs.

Netflix may never reveal full “ratings” for movies and TV, but one inescapable fact is now clear: Stranger Things is more popular than Bright. New Nielsen data puts the ‘80s Netflix sci-fi far above other originals in same-day watching, atop other surprising statistics.

When Steven Spielberg says Netflix movies are television he’s right -- but not quite in the way he meant.

Unfortunately, he’s kinda right.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

Look what you’ve done. In it’s opening weekend, more people watched ‘Bright,’ deemed Netflix’s worst movie yet, than Emmy-winning series ‘The Crown.’

The streaming giant tried to compete with the Hollywood studios, hiring the team from ‘Suicide Squad’ to make a big action thriller about humans and orcs. It stinks.

You’d think that spending $90 million on something like Bright (with $3.5 million of that going to Max Friggin’ Landis) would be embarrassing enough for Netflix, especially after all the third-degree burns they suffered from last night’s onslaught of negative reviews. But apparently the fine folks at Netflix are masochists: Not only have they already ordered a sequel to David Ayer’s buddy-cop-orc movie, but they’ve taken their self-own to the next level with a Bright-inspired holiday “fireplace.”

The Will Smith buddy cop fantasy ‘Bright’ has already gotten a sequel order ahead of its debut on Netflix, and despite terrible reviews.

Bright is essentially Training Day, if Training Day had been written by a time-traveling Holly Black who knew about 2017’s disparate Black Lives/Blue Lives Matter movements.
