“I save Hollywood,” said Ted Sarandos when he was asked if he “destroyed Hollywood” from the box office suffering from streaming platforms that continued to develop.
“Netflix is ββa very focused company on the consumer. We really care to deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it, and it is a program that you like and want. So we do not leave many other external forces hindering the summit of this year.” The box office being done for example, what is said? What is a consumer trying to tell us? That he likes to watch movies at home. ”
The corporate executive noted that even if the subscription numbers are no longer the most important for him, they are: “Commitment, income, profit”.
Sam Jacobs, TimeThe editor-in-chief, stressed that Sarandos has been in Netflix for 25 years, so he asked him: “In your next job, you prefer to run Saturday Night Live Or Disney? What Sarandos quickly replied: “Saturday Night Live.“”
Jacobs then asked who should replace Bob Iger, Disney CEO, and Sarandos has “no idea”.
Sarandos had previously talked about the suspicion he would succeed in Iger and said to Wall Street Journal In October, βIt is not even in my mind.
He continued: “It is difficult for me to recommend the program to another company where I do not really understand their business and, in turn, their corporate culture. I understand their business quite well, but not their corporate culture. β
