Netflix has confirmed it's making a sequel to Extraction, its biggest movie of all time, with star Chris Hemsworth. A teaser trailer released over the weekend revealed that the action film's protagonist, Tyler Rake, survived the events of the first movie's ending where he was shot in the neck and subsequently fell into a river.
The chances are, without a captive pandemic audience, Extraction 2 will never be as big as its predecessor.
The film had such a monopoly on our time in the early days of nationwide lockdowns that it was essentially uncontested as new entertainment. It actually illustrated what Netflix's films are best at, which is providing a viable alternative to theaters when it comes to movies, rather than replacing what blockbusters offer outright.
You can't see a world where Extraction would get a wide release and make a ton of money on the big screen, but as something to watch from home by pressing a button on the Netflix app? It was actually perfect for that. In a way, it illustrates how moviemaking is changing as a result of the streaming wars.
Even if Extraction 2 doesn't end up being the hottest stuff in a world where theaters are open, it actually has name recognition now because so many people saw it. For Netflix, as it tries to forge its own franchises that can compete with the traditional movie studios' offerings, that's still incredibly valuable.
