Amy Schumer's 'Kinda Pregnant' Tops Netflix Views

Amy Schumer's new Netflix comedy 'Kinda Pregnant' has become the most-watched film on the platform, despite poor reviews citing its predictable plot and subpar performances. In contrast, Denzel Washington's 'John Q', recently added to Netflix, is praised by some viewers as underrated, though it holds a low 26% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, the debate continues on whether Netflix original films would benefit from theatrical releases, with titles like 'The Irishman' and 'Glass Onion' receiving limited runs, suggesting a missed opportunity for others. The success of low-budget films like 'Godzilla Minus One', which outperformed big-budget films and won visual effects accolades, highlights a shift towards valuing innovative storytelling over high production costs. This trend suggests an evolving landscape where streaming platforms and smaller-budget films can compete with traditional blockbusters.
