One such film is Malcolm and Marie, the Sam Levinson (Euphoria)-directed romantic drama starring Zendaya and John David Washington, whose rights Deadline reports have been bought by Netflix for around $30 million.
The fact that both Zenday and John David Washington are involved in the project should carry some weight with audiences when their movie releases on Netflix.
The project was conceptualized during the lockdown, and production on the feature was set up quickly and in secret.
The film became the first post-pandemic project to complete production, and Netflix faced stiff competition in its quest to acquire the rights to the feature.
