A great shake has recently happened with some of Hollywood's highest creatives. Despite making a name for themselves in Netflix thanks to the success of their scientific series "Stranger Things", Matt and Ross Duffer, the Duffer Brothers, jumped on a boat. After fighting, The Daphs eventually decided to take a new deal in Paramount. Netflix wanted to keep the duo in the house, but at the end of the day, the new regime in Paramount offered them something that the king of the streaming game just couldn't.

In the new report of The wrapper Depending on the four -year deal that Daffers signed with Paramount, it has been explained that the exclusive deal includes feature films, television and streaming projects. They will work with Oshosh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, co -presidents of Paramount Pictures. The feature of feature films is particularly important, as the brothers obviously wanted to make big films for the big screen. It is something Netflix generally does not do, which paves the way for Paramount to beat them. In the statement, the Dafers had to say about it:

"We couldn't be more thrilled to join the Paramount family. (Netherlands) and Matt (Tunnel), who were among the first to believe in us and an unusual little scenario we wrote, which became "Stranger Things". They took a chance for us in 2015, and they reappear the chance - we can't wait to create new stories together. "

This agreement came only a few days later The merging of Paramount with Skydance has become officially. The new brass in Paramount wants to claim the place of the studio in Hollywood, and this deal is part of them to put their money where the mouth is. It also exposes weakness to Netflix, as long as the talent with a big name is waving.

Netflix is ​​an undisputed king of streaming. The company generated more revenue in 2024 than the entire global cashierAnd they again made a crystal clear time and time that they were not interested in entering the theater part of the business in any important way. They will occasionally give the film a great director of a very limited theater, but that's about it. This was a Duffer brothers dealer, seeking to make a name for themselves in the movies now when Stranger Things ends.

Duffers evenly Launched their own production company, Unded Down Productions, in 2022. Now, they can produce projects for Paramount, with the option of those projects to go to theaters in a significant way. Under the new deal, the duo will create, write, direct and produce feature films, TV and original streaming series for Paramount Pictures, Paramount Televice and Paramount+. Everything is on the table. (They will also be able to continue working on several Netflix projects, such as spin-off-offs and future seasons of several other plays to debut next year.)

At Netflix, their options were limited. If they wanted to make a movie, they might get a limited edition, might qualify for prizes or calm down the duplicates. Paramount, on the other hand, wants Duffers to generate big hits at the box office - they actually count on it. While the terms of the agreement were not disclosed, Matt Belloni in Pack heard that it was a nine figure in the amount of those four years. So, the studio has to pay off in real dollars and cents.

Netflix must now face the fact that many A-list creators want to make theaters. They give Greta Gervig's "Narnia", next year's theater editionBut even that concession has caused friction because Netflix does not want to fully commit to the way he would like. The company will either have to accept the loss of certain directors in the future or decide to make a significant effort to get into the theater business business. Since the second option seems to be unlikely, Netflix may be ready to see other creatives to sign profitable deals elsewhere.
