Netflix will release no less than 80 movies in 2022

[Shawn Knight]

Bottom line: Netflix has a full film slate in store for 2022 with no less than 80 movies on tap across a variety of genres. That works out to more than one new movie on average per week, and should hopefully justify the company's recent price hike.

The streaming leader recently published its 2022 movie preview trailer, highlighting flicks starring A-list cast members including Jamie Foxx in Day Shift, Hustle with Adam Sandler, You People starring Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and The Gray Man with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.

Netflix has been investing heavily in original content to stay ahead of the competition, and 2022 looks to be no exception. According to a report from the Financial Times late last year, Netflix was expected to spend over $17 billion on content this year. If true, it’d be a 25 percent over what it spent in 2021 and 57 percent more than it shelled out for content in 2020.

Netflix in its most recent earnings report said it had 222 million paying subscribers on file in over 190 countries, of which 8.3 million were added in the fourth quarter. That wasn’t enough to appease investors concerned about growing competition from rivals like Amazon and Disney. A huge stock selloff commenced, and Netflix’s shares dropped from $508.25 before the news broke down to $397.50 a day later.

Share value recovered slightly, but took another beating today, currently trading at $406.44 per.

Next month : Netflix prices going up 80........................ 80% percent.

Yeah well, there's a catch, how many will actually be worth watching?

In my experience, Netflix movies usually fall somewhere between Unwatchable and Meh

Netflix makes content for the sake of making content.

 

[lripplinger]

Meh, I cancelled my Netflix subscription when the whole "Cuties" debacle happened.

That's what you get for a subscription service. It is so tight on money that's not really returns investment.

They do focus heavily on algorithm based storytelling to retain the audience for the whole thing. That said there are some decent movies/shows that come out. Munich was great.

Anyone that still subscribes knowing about that has questionable morals imo.

They probably lured some writers, directors, and producers, away from Redbox

I agree. Despite what the tough crowd here is saying, the price is still a vast ways away from the $85/mo I was paying before I dropped Dish Network as that was not worth it to watch a sum total of about five channels amongst 500+ channels of to choose from. And, IMO, Netflix has some excellent shows. I won't bother to enumerate them since the crowd could give a and would probably yell, OMG, that's too "Woke" for me.

Anyone that still subscribes knowing about that has questionable morals imo.

Yes, because everyone who still subscribes watches "Cuties", right? (really, that kind of thinking is logical fallacy, IMO) And you, prey tell, have the morals of a saint?

IMO, every subscription service has something that is "morally questionable".

Cancel culture is only Cancel Culture if it comes from the left, I suppose. But if it comes from the right, its some sort of God wreaking vengeance on the immoral?

 

[defaultluser]

As much as I hate the influx of "many options that suck" on Netflix, I'd rather have that, than Amazon Prime's "crap-fest of movies."

I've watched at least a dozen decent Netflix movies last year (Red Notice was the last one I watched, and was definitely rewatchable); the last time anything remotely decent showed up on my Prime-Exclusive feed was two years back with "The Lighthouse"

Prime just upped their cost by $20 more a year, while only having a few decent TV shows to really sell the service - nearly every movie they create is Starz-quality)

 

[DrSuess]

Netflix will release no less than 80 movies in 2022, but only 10 will be worth watching.

Let's suppose that a person had the morals of an alley cat, the personal hygiene of a stray dog that had lost the ability to lick his own ballz, would it be worth it for that person to subscribe to Netflix for, "Cuties"?

 

[tonylukac]

The library I worked at, Indian Prairie in Darien, IL, allows you to rent the Netflix device free & you can renew an unlimited # of times. But 600 movies are released each year.

Well, Captain, based on what I said about my subscription to Dish Network, subscribing to any service, for more than a month, to watch just one series, is, to me, anyway, not at all worth it - even with your preconditions.

Honestly, I have not seen Cuties and have no intention of watching it. Whether it is worth subscribing to Netflix just for that is, of course, totally up to the individual considering whether or not to do so.

For me, there is enough content to subscribe. I've enjoyed many, many shows, and a few shows I don't particularly care for but that my wife likes, and there is enough in our list that we want to watch, but Life gets in the way.

Point well made and taken. There is far more than anyone can watch. I have found stuff on there that I consider crap, but there is enough that is in the range of what I consider good, or even great (rewatchable many times), that it is worth it for me to subscribe. From my perspective, I find it rather difficult to imagine that any subscriber is unable to find anything that they like. To each their own.

Oh well, I have many other non subscription sources for "cuties". Although lately it would seem that even Ukraine is running low on photogenic females. Perhaps the Russian threat has convinced the hotties to stay dressed with their combat boors on.

Trust me, as soon as they start asking for credit card information, I'm outta there.

Ah yes, sexual dimorphism extends beyond the physical to the world of entertainment. If you've ever suffered through an episode of, "Sex in the City", you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. A few years back I believe someone discovered that women enjoyed porn, but which differed from male tastes on the same topic. It was rated as, "XXX w/cuddling".

I guess I an odd man out. I've never seen Sex in the City, and it is another show I had no interest in seeing. I tend to like shows/movies that contain elements that are uplifting, push arcane boundaries, and feature female eye candy. Not that all shows that I watch have all of those elements. I also like a few of the animated shows on Netflix, too.

 

[kenny loris]

Netflix please slash down the subscription since your making good money already!

I unfortunately, have. It's the most vapid, abject, inane bullsh!t, you can barely imagine One episode is an overdose..

Speaking of which, did you ever watch "Crossing Jordan"? IMO, Jill Hennessy was one of, if not the hottest, piece of 'eye candy' to ever hit the small screen. Yes, even in a lab coat. I'm still shamelessly in love with her to this day..Not to mention the show checks all of your other boxes as well.

I've been eyeballing the all 6 season DVD set at about a hunnert buks or so. At least I wouldn't have to watch it through commercials with mute button in hand.

If you want "girl on girl action", (actually sexually repressed tension, abandonment, and jealousy, no contact), there's always the new, "NCIS: Hawaii".. It sort of sucks, is poorly cast, and is a shadow of the best in the franchise, "NCIS: Los Angeles". But hey, it is in paradise. (IMO though, it's an ocean too far).

Trusting my instincts seems to work out more often than not.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have not seen it. I used to watch Dr. Quincy MD and enjoyed that (and learned a lot, too). It sounds like it might be an updated version of Quincy, MD with a much better looking lead. If I cannot find it on a streaming service that I currently subscribe to (only Netflix ATM), I'll check my library for it. Chances are, our local library system has it.

Speaking of similar shows, a few years back there was Body of Proof which had Jeri Ryan (7 of 9 from Voyager) in it (not as the lead, though). I thought it was pretty good, but my wife did not like it.

Well, that's not exactly a glowing recommendation. Maybe I'm not normal, but female eye candy, alone, does not a good/great show make, IMO.

This is a slam dunk. Who would you rather look at portraying a medical examiner, her:

or Jack Klugman? (Assuming the shows overall are the same quality, which they undoubtedly are, (IMO, of course))

Well, that's not exactly a glowing recommendation. Maybe I'm not normal, but female eye candy, alone, does not a good/great show make, IMO.

C'mon, fess up, you know you've watched "Bay Watch" at least once. I'd speculate your wife wouldn't like that either. (Unless of course, she appreciates, "The Hoff", topless).

Well, that's not exactly a glowing recommendation. Maybe I'm not normal, but female eye candy, alone, does not a good/great show make, IMO.

Nor was it intended to be. It's a mediocre process drama that comes on after another slightly better one.

Like I said, "NCIS: Loa Angeles", is the best one of the franchise. It's so eccentrically cast that it's an absolute coup. Besides all the gun play, explosions, death, and destruction, it's also funnier than most of the sitcoms on the air.

Then there's "Kenzie" and "Deeks". who play a wedded couple. When in reality, he's her brother in law...? On screen, they get on really, really well, as both an investigative team, and a comedy duo.

BTW, you can find all six seasons of "Crossing Jordan" on, (if memory serves), the Roku Channel. Which further assumes of course, that you own one of those infernal contraptions.
