Netflix sets the bar high

The Irishman

Netflix has not yet given the number of views of the film The Irishman, which became the most expensive movie in the history of the platform with a budget of $170 million, but the Nielsen rating agency estimated that 17.1 million viewers watched the film in the United States in the first five days.

Given that the average ticket price in the USA is $9.26, this means box office of $158 million in the domestic market only. Thus, the movie that Netflix created primarily for prestige and emphasized that he does not plan to make money on it is among the most successful films of 2019.

For example, the Joker (1 billion box office at the moment), earned $96 million for the first weekend and raised $331 million in the United States. Specialists emphasize that Irishman has every chance of receiving the prestigious Golden Globe and Oscar awards. Thus, it will raise the status of Netflix and convincing doubting producers and actors of the reliability of the platform. For the whole world, the Irishman will become the unwritten bar with which all future series and films coming out in digital format will be compared, including Turkish ones.
