Let's start a thread:

What #datecdotes do you think Netflix reveals tomorrow? Too many options for a poll.

Ratched got the treatment last week...
Here's some tweets from the last quarter of already parceled out data:

Plus:

And from Frances:

My guess? The Kissing Booth 2...
Did I miss any Twitter datecdotes over the last 3 months?

1/ Netflix Earnings Report Thread - Q3 of 2020

Hypothesis: Netflix subscriber growth was low due to a weak content slate in the most recent quarter.
2/ Netflix guided to 2.5 million subscribers, which they were under by .3 million, at 2.2. (The street was estimating 3M.)

I don't care about estimates, though, because why set expectations on expectations? For me, the question is growth: is it slowing or accelerating.
3/ Honestly, this chart looks like slowing. It's got high growth regular, then 2020 starts to hop around like toddler drawing an "M". Image

Happy Netflix Earnings Day! #Netflix

Celebrate by reading my latest "visual of the week" and check in later as I try to extract insights from the last 7 weeks of Nielsen data.

BTW, later today I hope to use Nielsen to see what the most popular non-datecdote shows are.

Current leader is Outer Banks

1/ Live thread on preparation for tomorrow.

Last quarter, NFLX earnings snuck up on me. So my data wasn't prepped. That's why today is "data day" for me.
2/ This AM I organized 15 weeks of Nielsen data by production type, first/second/library run, Original and what not.
3/ Now, I just updated my Film table. Some fun stats:

Netflix has released 30 #datecdotes to date, with Nielsen providing 2 more.

Here's a sample of my color coded chart like a crazy person:

1/ Time to dig deep into some Netflix data. #Netflix #Datecdote $NFLX @Netflix

A Thread on Netflix' Feature Film Performance
2/ Before we get to the data—and we have lots of tables/charts coming—I want to explain where the data comes from and the “5 Data W’s” of this thread.
3/ My biggest gripe on most “data” journalism is they don’t do this.

They obscure global numbers vs US, subscribers versus views and time period measured.

Thread: On TV production timelines

For broadcast, cable and streaming

In an age of coronavirus.
Why? To understand the delays caused by coronavirus shut downs, this is what basically impacts everything.
1/ As I’ve said before, in a previous life I did a LOT of content planning for a streamer. One of the things meant understanding when we clicked “Go” on a scripted series when it would come to air.

This is the rule of thumb I used for calendar planning. Like years out.

Thread: And I'm still not done with AT&T/Warner Media/HBO Max.

Here's a thread with my advice for Warner Media and where they should go from here with #HBOMax $T
Why Warner Media? Well, day-to-day, they’re really the folks running a streaming platform. All the partnerships and promotions run by AT&T are nice, but the content/product folks are responsible for making HBO Max succeed.
Step 1: Hold the line on Amazon for Prime Channels distribution and providing content for IMDb TV.

You read my column. You know why. Stay strong.
