Bev, I was curious if you had any insight into this deal. I own Netflix stock and discuss the company a lot with fellow investors.
My question is if Netflix had to pay a premium for this deal or not; did King and his partners receive their usual fee? What kind of risk does Netflix think this is -- a sure bet, or an appropriate experiment, given the subject matter? Did the success of Stranger Things, and its linkage to the spirit of King's work, help get the deal done? This would seem like a hard property to sell. Netflix has something of a reputation for knowing close to the exact value of any given deal structure, and I'm wondering, like with a previous deal with Will Smith and Max Landis, if the company may have paid a lot up front to own all the cash flow from this going forward.
Netflix just reported earnings today, by the way...maybe they will mention this project in the conference call (not that it will affect the stock, but it would be nice to shed light on the company's content strategy).
And Soylent Green Dog Food!...should help revive the flagging handcuff market.....
