On the topic of A24,
Havent you seen Hereditary or Midsommer, Snarf??? Agree with ya on Civil War on all counts.
Netflix got a small bump for me because they added a lot of AMC content. Although, I still think Netflix originals are garbage, and especially the movies.
HBOMAX was faltering, but damn if they dont have a hit in Penguin on their hands!
I still have zero idea how folks think Peacock and Prime are better than MAX. Though Snarf is spot on about Paramount +
In reverse order-
Remember that the streaming power rankings aren't about the services in terms of content or my love for them. It's about their POWER (business) in terms of how they are doing currently, with thoughts about their future prospects. Personally, I think that Max has some of the best content, but that doesn't mean that they aren't in a seriously bad business situation. I think Peacock is mostly garbage (although I did like the Olympics) but they have Comcast backing and keep making plays.
As for A24- Of course! The festival was films we hadn't (all) seen yet. Love Midsommar so much. Same with Hereditary. They consistently churn out really good movies. Not all of them ... they've had a few clunkers, but they are one of the few "brands" that I check out because of the good track record.
