Netflix may have conquered our living rooms, but when it comes to finding success in the world of film? The numbers speak for themselves. And they’re not kind.
The latest reminder of Netflix’s feature film struggles comes from The New York Times, which unveiled a reader-voted list of the top 100 films of the 21st century. More than 200,000 people participated, and out of the hundreds of original films Netflix has churned out since launching its original movie ambitions over a decade ago, guess how many made the cut?
Not one.
Knives Out, ranked at #91 on the list, at least has a tangential connection to the streamer, in that the original was released in theaters by Lionsgate in 2019; Netflix later swooped in with a $450 million deal for the sequels. But that’s it.
