It’s been a long time coming. Like Jack Nicholson’s Col. Nathan R. Jessup in “A Few Good Men,” finally admitting that he ordered the Code Red (“You’re goddamn right I did!”), Ted Sarandos, the visionary co-ceo of Netflix, recently outed himself as someone who believes that the experience of going to see a movie in a movie theater is an antiquated idea. In an interview with Time magazine editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs at the Time100 Summit on April 23, Sarandos said, “Folks grew up thinking, ‘I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them play in the theater for two months, and people cry and [there are] sold-out shows.’ It just doesn’t happen very much anymore.”
Asked by Jacobs if the movie-theater experience is “outdated,” Sarandos said he thought it was. And asked if the desire to make movies “for movie theaters, for the communal experience” is “an outmoded idea,...

President Donald Trump is on the cusp of completing the first 100 days of his second presidency, and things are feeling a little more lawless than the first time around. The initial months of the second Trump presidency have been marked by his administration’s attempts to force their agenda down to the gullet of the country, even if it means breaking the core founding principles of the nation in the process.
On Friday, Time magazine published an interview with Trump discussing his first 100 days, and the president wasn’t convinced...

Ted Sarandos’ latest interview started with a softball question: “Have you destroyed Hollywood?”
“No, we’re saving Hollywood,” the Netflix co-ceo replied with a smile.
On Wednesday in New York, Sarandos engaged in a brief discussion with Time magazine editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs at the Time100 Summit. The two jumped right into the problems plaguing Hollywood and why Netflix is succeeding amidst production decreases, dwindling box office numbers and an industry in contraction.
“Netflix is a very consumer-focused company,” Sarandos said. “We really do care that we deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it.”
Using the struggling global box office as an example, Sarandos added, “What does that say? What is the consumer trying to tell us? That they’d like to watch movies at home, thank you. The studios and the theaters are duking it out over trying to preserve this 45-day window that...

“I’m saving Hollywood,” said Ted Sarandos when asked if he was “destroying Hollywood” from the box office suffering due to streaming platforms continuing to expand.
“Netflix is a very consumer-focused company. We really do care that we deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it, and it’s a program that you love and desire. So we don’t let a lot of other outside forces get in the way of that,” Sarandos, the co-ceo of Netflix, said at this year’s Time 100 Summit on Wednesday. “The box office being done by way of example, what does that say? What is a consumer trying to tell us? That they like to watch movies at home.”
The business executive noted that even though the subscription numbers are not the most important to him anymore, they are: “Engagement, revenue, profit.”

Donald Trump has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year ahead of his second presidency.
The Republican Party leader has had the title bestowed on him for a second time, with the first coming after his first presidential win in 2016.
“All of us — from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics — are living in the Age of Trump… [He] has remade American politics in the process,” writes Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs in a letter to readers.
“He won by enlarging his base, seizing the frustration over rising prices and benefiting from a global turn against incumbents… Now we watch as members of Congress, international institutions, and global leaders once again align themselves with his whims. The carousel of Trumpworld characters spins anew. This time, we know what to expect.”
“For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency...
