Graham Fuller, film and television editor at Culture Trip, discusses Netflix's decision to announce "The Cloverfield Paradox" during the Super Bowl. The film was made available to stream immediately following the game. Fuller says it was a "brilliant marketing stroke" to announce and release the movie almost simultaneously, especially since the film has not received positive reviews. He explains Netflix was able to attract a big audience for a bad movie. Fuller doesn't expect this to become the norm, even though Paramount has also sold international rights to Netflix for the upcoming Natalie Portman movie "Annihilation." Fuller believes it's a smart move for a studio to recoup some cost.
