2019 Emmys Ratings Drop 32% Hitting a Record Low

0

Here’s why the ratings for the Emmys saw a double-digit drop.

According to Nielsen, the 71st Emmy Awards gained the attention of 6.9 million total viewers on Fox last night. The award celebration got a 1.6 rating amount the key demographic of adults ages 18 to 49.

The annual special saw a 33% drop in 18 to 49-year-olds and a 32% drop overall from last year. NBC’s 2018 awards show saw a prior historic low of 2.4 ratings with 10.2 million viewers.

It is important to note the Emmy Awards had a lot of competition. The 2018 Emmys did not compete against primetime NFL football on broadcast television like 2019’s 71st Emmy Awards. Sunday Night Football on NBC had a 12.8 overnight rating, which essentially guarantees a poor outcome for the Emmys.

That said, the 2019 Emmys had a pretty great lead-in. Most of America watched the New York Giants come back and defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The New York Giants showcased a rookie quarterback, Daniel Jones, making his first start.

How Streaming is Transforming The Entertainment Industry

The streaming wars are changing Hollywood and here’s how talent is winning and losing in this new arms race for original content.

For aspiring actors, filmmakers, writers, and crew members, the demand for new and original content is expected to increase. However, the likelihood of working on a syndicated TV series is set to decrease, causing many people working in the entertainment industry to look for their next opportunity continually.

The TV and film industry is going through a tremendous transformation that has never been seen before. Hollywood is moving towards launching new streaming services and spending millions of dollars in the process. Netflix and Disney are negotiating multi-million dollar deals to secure programming, which is fundamentally changing how business is done with talent.

According to the Wall Street Journal, as the number of productions released to consumer increases, seasons for shows is going to get shorter and shorter. As a result, for actors, producers, and crew members, it means moving on to new jobs more frequently.

Disney+

Disney controls Hulu and in November will release a new low-cost service called Disney+. The streaming platform will feature Marvel and Star Wars series, kid content, and original TV shows and movies. Meanwhile, Apple is launching several premium shows featuring A-list actors. WarnerMedia’s HBO Max and Comcast Peacock are set to release next year, adding to the significant competition between Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and CBS’ All Access.

BET+

BET+ is also now available. One of the key highlights of the new BET service is the partnership with Tyler Perry Studios. Tyler Perry’s back catalog of work and new content will be featured in BET+. Standup specials from Nick Cannon, Lil Rel and Sasheer Zamata and upcoming shows like “First Wives Club,” “Bigger,” and “Sacrifice.” Content from Viacom-owned brands such as VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” “Basketball Wives,” “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” Comedy Central’s “Why? With Hannibal Buress,” “MTV’s Todrick,” TV Land’s “Soul Man” and Nick at Night’s “Instant Mom” will also appear on the platform.

How the streaming wars is changing the film industry

Syndication

For the past 50 years, the basic formula for producers to make a lot of money is to reach 100 episodes. By achieving at least a 100 episodes, the show will have enough episodes to sell reruns from “syndication” deals. Hit TV shows such as “Seinfeld” and “Friends” have made millions of dollars following this formula.

Netflix’s business model

Ted Sarandos Netflix
LOS ANGELES – MAY 6: Ted Sarandos, Dave Chappelle at the Netflix FYSEE Kick-Off Event at Raleigh Studios on May 6, 2018 in Los Angeles, CA – Image (Kathy Hutchins / Shutterstock.com)

Netflix changed the game when it started approaching and landing deals with major producers to make content exclusively for the platform. Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy both landed multi-million dollar deals. However, Netflix does not sell reruns. As a result, producers can not obtain syndication profits.

Netflix launched this business strategy. Now, Warner Bros and Disney are following suit. But, with so much competition and high demand for high-quality content, writers and producers are getting paid more than ever for their work.

Upront money versus syndication

By guaranteeing a large amount of money upfront, the risk of creating content to surpass 100 episodes is gone. That said, there are possible downsides. For example, if a show becomes a major hit, it does not generate the profits you would have generally obtained from reruns.

It is important to note, Disney can put a show that the company has produced on whatever platform they choose without renegotiating deals. Warner has a similar idea, which is enormous if an entertainment platform wants to move TV projects to their streaming services.

In an interview with WSJ, producer Mike Schur (“The Office” and “The Good Place)” says he is concerned about the business model Disney is using in their business deals.

“There’s a deal you make when you create a show. You guys own most of it, but I own some of it. Together we’re going to go out into the marketplace and sell it to the person who offers the most money,” Mr. Schur said. “The most strident capitalists in the world are the ones opposing a free market,” he added.

Overall

Very few shows land syndication deals. But, under this new streaming business model, it will get tough. There are no incentives to get up to 100 episodes. But, some producers are not complaining saying there is more freedom in creating fewer episodes.

‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’: Netflix Drops Teaser Trailer with Aaron Paul

Netflix has released a new teaser trailer for “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” feature Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).

The new trailer comes after the events of the “Breaking Bad” finale, where Bryan Cranston’sWalter White dies. A distraught Jesse can be sitting in the dark in his car smoking a cigarette, listening to the radio. A news anchor breaks the news of what just happened. “Veteran police officers calling the level of carnage “staggering.” Apparently a remote-controlled machine gun was used in the killings.” Jesse then learns that the police are now looking for him as “Investigators are searching for a person of interest who fled the scene.” The trailer ends with the character breathing heavily, panicking and most likely contemplating what his next course of action should be.

“El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” will hit Netflix on October 11th and at select theaters. Check out the full teaser trailer above.

‘Joker’: Joaquin Phoenix Walks Out of Interview After This Difficult Question

Joaquin Phoenix is currently doing promo for his upcoming feature film, “Joker” and walked out of an interview.

In a recent interview with “The Telegraph,” he was asked a question regarding the upcoming film’s potential influence on violence.

The new Batman spinoff movie puts Phoenix in the role of Arthur Fleck, a struggling comedian who becomes tragically rejected by the world and goes crazy becoming the Joker. The movie is R-rated and has various scenes with portraying graphic violence. Film critic Robbie Collin asked Phoenix whether “Joker” “might perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it’s about, with potentially tragic results.”

Phoneix was reportedly shocked by the question and walked off the interview replying: “Why? Why would you…? No, no.” The award-winning actor was said to have returned an hour later after being convinced by Warner Bros. executives to complete the interview. He never answered the question Collin had asked him before his departure. But, Phoenix had previously declared that the violence in the movie would be more “visceral and raw” in comparison to other superhero movies. That said, he explained,  “You always want it to feel real, and you want the little violence that we have to have an impact,” Phoenix said. “What happens in a lot of movies is that you get numb to it, you’re killing 40,000 people, you don’t feel it. While being a fictional story in a fictional world, you always want it to feel real. Everything that happens in this movie as far as violence goes, you feel it.”

It is not the first time Phoenix walked off a production. The movie’s director Todd Phillips revealed that the 44-year-old actor had done the same thing on set as well.

“In the middle of the scene, he’ll just walk away and walk out. And the poor other actor thinks it’s them and it was never them. It was always him, and he just wasn’t feeling it.”

Joker will hit cinemas October 4.

Judas and the Black Messiah‘ is now hiring actors to work as stand-ins in Cleveland, Ohio.

Casting directors are now hiring actors, models, and talent to work on scenes filming mid-October through mid-December in Cleveland, Ohio.

Producers are seeking the following types:

About “Judas and the Black Messiah”:

The film titled JUDAS & THE BLACK MESSIAH (formerly JESUS WAS MY HOMEBOY) is preparing to shoot in Cleveland this fall.

Daniel Kaluuya and his Get Out co-star Lakeith Stanfield to star in Jesus Was My Homeboy, a production that tells the true story of Fred Hampton, a Black Panther revolutionary, and activist who was assassinated in 1969.

Daniel Kaluuya will play Fred Hampton, an Illinois-born honors student who was active in the NAACP, brokered a non-aggression pact between two of Chicago’s gangs, coined the phrase “rainbow coalition,” and rose to prominence in the Black Panther Party on both the state and national level. Hampton was assassinated by the FBI and the Chicago Police Department at age 21 during a raid on his apartment.

Lakeith Stanfield will play William O’Neal, a car thief who had his charges dropped by becoming an FBI informant who worked his way into the Black Panthers, eventually becoming Hampton’s bodyguard and turning over a detailed layout of Hampton’s apartment to the authorities, which ultimately contributed to Hampton’s assassination. This film is said to “look at the rise and death of Hampton through O’Neal’s perspective.”

Deputy is an upcoming Western procedural drama television series created by Will Beall and David Ayer. The series centers around a cop production that mixes the soul of a classic Western with a modern-day perspective and brave authenticity. When the Los Angeles County’s Sheriff dies, a rule created back in the Wild West pushes the most unlikely man into the job. The man is a fifth-generation lawman, more satisfied taking down bad guys than operating through politics. He leads an experienced crew of energetic and difficult people who won’t stop until the law is served.
