Netflix's new Friends deal is actually worth between $70 million to $80 million for 2019 streaming rights

The Hollywood Reporter

The Hollywood Reporter says The New York Times report that the deal is worth "around $100 million" was exaggerated. Even by shelling out $70 million to $80 million for Friends streaming rights for 2019, Netflix is paying more than double what it has been paying for the past four years -- $30 million a year.
