Netflix The Spanish premieres that will arrive in the coming months
Netflix
added two million fewer subscribers than expected to its platform in a record first quarter in revenue and earnings for the
Los Gatos, California-based company.
The leader in the
streaming
sector
already has 208 million subscribers worldwide -after adding 4 million more- compared to the forecasts of 210 million, confirming the slowdown in that chapter, something that it attributed in part to the obstacles to produce new seasons of some of his greatest pandemic successes.
Its shares fell sharply - up to 11% - in the
after-hours
market
,
hit in part by the downward forecasts in the number of subscribers for the next quarter, which expect that it will not exceed one million subscribers compared to
10 million budgeted a year earlier.
Still, the company anticipates "a strong second half of the year" with the return of some of its hottest series and "an exciting movie proposition," according to the shareholder statement.
The platform led by
Reed Hastings is
confident that the return of titles such as
La casa de papel
,
Sex Education
,
The Witcher
or
You will
help restore momentum to the brand after months of quarantines and mandatory lockdowns by Covid-19. The bet is also firm with films like
Red Notice
- starring
Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson
and
Ryan Reynolds -
and
Don't Look Up
, with a cast full of big names like
Meryl Streep
and
Leonardo DiCaprio.
For the moment, their numbers are stronger than ever, clearly favored by the climate created by the pandemic, with an "unproven growth" in the number of members during 2020. Net profit in the first quarter of 2021 reached 1,707 million dollars, more than double the same period last year, with a record in operating income of 2 billion dollars compared to 958 in the first three months of 2020.
Its objective is now to consolidate its offer and production from various international markets to replicate successes such as that of
Lupine
, the French series starring
Omar Sy,
"titles that not only generate high levels of viewing but can also go beyond the cultural spirit and transcend the film and television industry. " In total,
76 million people watched the series
in its first 28 days of broadcast.
The platform also took the opportunity to breastfeed for its strong presence in the awards season for yet another year.
They start with
36 nominations from a total of 17 titles
this Sunday at the
Oscars,
with the goal
of
winning
the statuette for best film has not yet been reached.
Mank
, with 10 nominations, is his great hope for this edition.
