During the past month, the peacock took control MummyThe 1999 movie starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Wesz. This is good on the one hand, because the film is amazing and everyone should watch it at least ten times, but also, why is it almost a 30 -year -old movie at the top of the broadcasting service from a major studio?

Peacock has a clear shortage of original visits, and thanks to the extensive licensing deals in the Universal, they are strengthened through the accumulation of content, while the latest visits will always reach one of its competitors months after its digital issuance. If you want to take bets on the first main service to be transferred, you should look at the peacock.

Universal Pictures had an amazing operation of this contract with a series of visits, including Super Mario Bros.and M3ganthe How to train your drag A new edition of work, and the wonderful success of evil. Most of these films are no longer present on the peacock, thanks to the Universal decision to license their successes Netflix The Amazon was more profitable.

For four months, new films will be on peacock only, then at ten months, you will be available on Netflix (animation) and Amazon (Direct work), then return to the peacock for another four months. It is a great successful deal for all parties, to the extent that Universal and Netflix will include live films in the arrangement starting in 2027. Peacock subscribers get DIBS first, but before they know, visits are disappeared, and the remainder is the back catalog of classic series and television reality.

It is the perfect environment for Mummy To become a great success, as it is still one of the best adventure films that have ever produced and featureser at the top of his game. Rick Ocunile’s adventure follows Fraser, Wiz Library Secretary, Evelyn Karenhan, and her brother Jonathan (John Hana) in a race against Emotab’s mummy (Arnold Voslo). The sand storm sequence remains one of the best CGI moments in the history of the movie, and it will stand and chant when Rick holds this sword. It is not an ideal, but close movie, and although critics did not like them at the time, there is no denial, like its stars, like soft wine.

The same is not possible to say about any of its sequence or the cross series, Scorpio KingToday, it is more known as the movie that launched the profession of the movie “The Rock” Johnson. Take Tom Cruise Mummy Amazing to the extent that Universal canceled the plans of the dark universe. Two of the largest stars on this planet cannot match magic and the attractiveness of every Bringan Fraser.

Looking at the top 10 on Peacock, it is clear that the subscribers of the service love their lush films, with Mummyand Puss in boots: The Last Wishand Miss Plasterand ZombielandAnd 21 Al -Qafha Street Everything that represents a sense of fun and prophecy, most modern films have failed to repeat them. If they are not 10 or 15 years old or pay 30 years old by this point, then this will be a wonderful assortment, and while people love the old media these days, it is difficult to sell a Running The service on “Remember the love of this thing? Watch it again and again.”

This is exactly what Universal has done with Peacock and its dependence on nostalgia for films and comic, including Officeand Gardens and Recand 30 rockEven early with Rosan and governess. Bravo is stable on reality TV, in particular Real housesClassified by summit chef and Traitors (It can be said that the most successful origin in the signs), but even its best offers fail to match the fourth or fifth competitors ’numbers.

Why subscribe when every new movie comes to a broadcast service with a deeper and diverse library of shows and movies? This is the problem facing Peacock, which recently lost one of the biggest clouds, WWE Premium Live events, to Disney And ESPN, while Raw went to Netflix, leaving the sign with lower and less lively sports every year. The success of the box office does not bear fruit for the peacock subscribers.

Ultimately, the broadcast wars in 2020s will demand some victims, while some services settled in their outlets, including Shudder (horror) and Stars (Historical homeland and 50 cents), others try to be the next Netflix and continue to move on Rakes (Paramount, Peacock). The Universal Road does not include profitability flow on its own platform, and although this is currently a good thing for fans of accumulating shows and studio -winning films, it will not be enough to keep the application alive.
