This year’s participants, who are all female, are: composer Freya Arde, a German Film Music Award winner for her work on Nelly’s Adventure; costume designer Ulé Barcelos, whose bold and colorful work was seen on 2020 German Oscar entry System Crasher; director Sarah Blaßkiewitz, whose debut Precious Ivie wrapped last summer; Berlin-based actor Tua El-Fawwal, star of German teen drama series Druck; Annekatrin Hendel, the prolific director of Berlin...

A campaign waged against Netflix over “Cuties” and the film’s sexualized portrayal of children produced a surge in U.S. subscription cancellations over the weekend, according to research company YipitData.
Netflix subscriber churn rates began to rise Sept. 10, the day after the release of “Cuties” on Netflix, when the hashtag “#CancelNetflix” was in the top-trending spot on Twitter, according to data compiled by YipitData.
On Saturday, Sept. 12, Netflix’s cancellation rate in the U.S. jumped to nearly eight times higher than the average daily levels recorded in August 2020 — reaching a multiyear high, the data-analytics provider told Variety. With the #CancelNetflix hashtag continuing to trend on social media, it is possible elevated churn could continue in the coming days, according to the firm.
It’s unclear, however, how big an impact that will have on Netflix’s overall subscriber base; YipitData declined to provide estimates on the number of customers who canceled.

“Mulan” (Disney) likely had the greatest revenues of any feature films available in homes this weekend. At $29.99, five times or more costly than alternatives and only in its second week of availability, the big-budget remake more than ever needs PVOD to bolster its chances to recoup its cost. With disappointing initial theatrical results in China ($23 million for its initial weekend), one of the countries where it is not streaming, Disney+ interest becomes even more important.
Perhaps the Chinese fiasco could lead to Disney replicating what Universal did with “Trolls World Tour” after its second weekend of home sales. It was an earnings call (not due for several weeks now though), but that is the one time the studio has released specific numbers on one of its releases ($95 million to that point).
After a weekend where much of the media finally noticed that “Tenet” had its initial domestic gross success overstated...

As we head into the second week of September, let’s take a look at everything that’s coming to Netflix over the next seven days. This month is packed full of original movies and TV shows, and this next batch of content is no different. There are new anime series, documentaries, foreign films and even a sequel to one of the streaming giant’s most successful horrors.
On Monday, September 7th, there are four new titles being added. Among them are My Octopus Teacher, following a filmmaker who forms an unusual bond with an octopus, Korean teen drama Record of Youth and US school system documentary Waiting for Superman. The highlight of Monday’s haul, though, has to be 2016 sci-fi movie Midnight Special, starring Michael Shannon, Kirsten Dunst and Adam Driver.

The streaming war is an epic battle that will rage on for years to come, funded by some of the richest corporations on the planet and being fought solely from the comfort of couches around the world. With the competition only continuing to heat up and new platforms either debuting or being announced on an increasingly regular basis, eventually only those with enough disposable income will be able to experience the full range of over-the-top content on offer.
Having led the charge since the very beginning, it seems unlikely that anyone will be able to dislodge Netflix as the market leaders seeing as they currently have over 100 million more subscribers than their closest competitors at Amazon Prime. That being said, with Disney Plus boasting some of the biggest brands in the industry and making new Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe shows a priority, along with HBO Max’s focus on their expanded DC universe,...

September marks the start of the traditional TV season. For many networks and cable channels, however, this will be an usual season with the coronavirus pandemic halting production leaving behind paltry fall lineups. Over on Netflix, however, things continue to operate at high capacity.
Netflix is rolling out quite a few original series and movies for its new releases in September 2020. The Hillary Swank-starring space drama Away premieres on September 4. That is followed by a whole host of intriguing concepts including Julie and the Phantoms (Sept. 10), Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (Sept. 18), and even the Nurse Ratched origin story series called Ratched (Sept. 18).
The film side of things is just as packed. Romantic comedy Love, Guaranteed premieres on Sept. 3, Charlie Kaufman’s latest effort I’m Thinking of Ending Things arrives on Sept. 4, and the Tom Holland-starring thriller The Devil All the Time bows on Sept. 16. That’s not even to mention Enola Holmes on Sept.
