Netflix did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to Bloomberg’s report, a lawyer for Netflix told the news outlet that it would be “inappropriate” for Bloomberg to publish the confidential data contained in the documents.and shared it outside the company, which is a violation of the streaming giant’s policies. The info included financial data for “Squid Game” and Dave Chappelle’s stand-up special “The Closer,” for which Netflix allegedly paid $24.1 million.
In the 23 days since the Sept. 17 debut of “Squid Game,” 132 million Netflix households streamed at least two minutes of the show, according to Bloomberg’s report. About 89% of those viewers watched at least 75 minutes and 66% of them — or 87 million — finished the entire series within the first 23 days of its release. Overall, Netflix users streamed more than 1.4 billion hours of “Squid Game” over that 23-day period.
In “Squid Game,” set in modern-day South Korea, 456 desperately debt-stricken contestants compete in a deadly competition of mysterious origin, pitting them against each other in a series of children’s games for the chance to win 45.6 billion won in prize money. “Squid Game” creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he intended the series to highlight the growing wealth gap in the modern world. “I wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about modern capitalist society, something that depicts an extreme competition, somewhat like the extreme competition of life,”
EvieThats They made a killing off this movie!
EVEN THOUGH I PAY FOR Netflix I'M NOT WATCHING THAT SQUIDWARD 😉 SHIT. I DON'T WANT TO READ (Subtitles)A MOVIE/SHOW.
And pay $17 in residuals.
And then they will make an American version and ruin it
Good thing IATSE caved so quick.
That’s enough to host a squid game!!!
Damn! That's insane.
That’s insane. How does that even work? How do views directly translate into revenue?
Curious if these residuals will go towards the crews that make this content 🤔 IASolidarity iatse IATSESolidarity
How is that possible? I’m genuinely asking. For the films released on D+ Premier Access its much clearer how they calculate revenue but Netflix, all their content is free outside of the $12 a month to make mmmmrm
what does that even mean? so elon musk money not actual money?
Terrible show. I cancelled Netflix because of it. Violence propaganda is the limit.
Do subscribers count as profit?
That's an insane number. Somebody needs to look at Netflix's books to see if there's some sort of shenanigans going on.
SquintGames
Someone needs to learn when to use capital letters

'Leaked' data? Sounds like they're trying to bolster investor confidence in the face of recent backlash...
Good show. Terrible ending.
