"Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, added: “You’re seeing power moving back into the hands of content creators. When a company like DreamWorks ends a long-running pay TV deal — when a new buyer in the space steps up — that’s a really interesting landscape shift.”
Sure, but DWA is one of few independent studios that are not tied to the lucrative pay TV business. So, that kind of bs talk only applies to content owners like Dreamworks Animation, Lionsgate, and Miramax, two of which were spun off from major entertainment companies. And we are only talking about 22 films in the can and a company that only produces a few films a year.
