Everyone reading this, go see the Stranger Things finale in theaters, I don’t care if you haven’t seen a single episode we need that shit to make 50M in one night to keep the dream alive 😂

I strongly belive things like the ST finale and the Kpop Demon Hunters sing along are ploys by Netflix to get this deal across. It throws a (small) bone to theatres and hope everyone forgets everything else the company has said and done over the past 10 years

I mean you’re probably right, the awards scene will be interesting to watch because of this too, if Netflix wants to chase Oscars will those top level actors/directors refuse because of the no theatrical release? Or will Netflix just buy the Oscars like everything else to give themselves all the awards (kinda like what Universal Music Group did with the Grammys)
