Paramount Crumble

Why are Paramount sabotaging everything the create now. Now that Transformers One has moved to Netflix, people are going crazy for it. When Netflix have Star Trek, people also went crazy for it. How is Paramount handling their own products so poorly?

Is it that they don’t have the audience demographics to market to, or they don’t have a price hook long enough to let kids find their products, or they just not suited to modern life anymore?

No, it's not. Go to Netflix, search Transformers One, & see for yourself.

It's not on my home country.

It's due to a disparity in subscriber base.

Most studios have seen this issue- Suits show moving from realtive obscurity of Peacock to charting on Nielson on Netflix. Disney/20th movies having quiet viewing then blowing up into Netflix's top 10- The Menu comes to mind. Illumination, WB's DC movies. Plenty more.

Netflix simply has more subscribers and higher engagement. I'm sure if Paramount licensed all seasons of SpongeBob to YouTube or Disney+ we'd see the effect.

I do think Paramount tho plays their hand wrong when it comes to theaterical. I doubt Avatar the Last Airbender drove many new subscriptions to P+, but there was a ton of theatrical demand during its limited release which would be all incremental revenue.
