Maybe they can create a new movie based on this funny story. Name it Doge King and chronicle the bizarre world of selling shitcoins.

#12Netflix just gave him the money? Isn't a producer the one with the money that hires people?

Well, he had his own production company, and they gave money to that.

#15Since we're discussing the economics of film/TV studios, and their weird decisions. I'd like to understand why the studios are still making Star Trek shows. Each one seems to be more poorly received than the last. That's costing studios far more than $55M. Picard alone cost ~$9M per episode according to Wikipedia.

#16I love these stories of sci-fi movie diasasters. There are just as many insane stories of "amazing this classic ever got made". On the topic of disasters, I recommend reading about The Starlost: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlost
Sounds like Jodorwsky's Dune[0] where it's famous for not getting made.

#17Isn’t $55 M little more than a rounding error for a company like Netflix ?
According to this site[0], their revenue for 2022 was $31.6B, so $55M would be approximately 0.17%. Stated otherwise, on average, they make $55M every 15 hours or so. So yeah, it kind of seems like a rounding error. [0] https://www.statista.com/statistics/272545/annual-revenue-of...
Operating income is ~$6B - so it's closer to 1% of what really matters.

Just because large companies publish large round numbers in their reports, doesn’t mean they don’t care about the underlying figures.

#20So I assume Netflix sued him for breach of contract? It doesn't seem like the world was deprived of any art except for whatever production wasn't greenlit because this guy was too busy making line go up to actually do his job.
