Netflix's 'The Electric State' performs poorly post-release

forbes.com

Netflix's new movie, The Electric State, is facing serious problems. It is one of the most expensive films ever made, with a budget of $320 million. Despite starring popular actors like Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the movie has performed poorly since its release. Currently, The Electric State ranks lower on Netflix's Top 10 list than Kraven the Hunter, which is known to be one of the worst superhero films. Critics have given it a very low score of just 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is raising concerns, especially for Marvel, where Kevin Feige might need to pay closer attention to the Russo Brothers, who directed both films. Viewership for The Electric State dropped sharply after its release. It started with 25 million views but quickly fell to sixth place behind other films and documentaries on Netflix. For comparison, another recent film, Carry-On, cost only $47 million and may perform better. It's clear that Netflix needs to rethink how much it spends on making original films. The company may also need to improve its quality control for big projects to avoid such failures. The future of the Russo Brothers' upcoming Marvel movies could be impacted by this situation, raising questions about their next steps.
