The French movie The Crew (Braqueurs as it’s appertained to in France) is set to leave Netflix after being on the service encyclopedically for 3 times. The significance of the junking is that the title is retailed on the service as a Netflix Original movie and is tied to the lately released Ganglands series.
Released in 2015, the movie directed by Julien Leclercq (who also wrote the movie alongside Simon Moutairou) is an action crime drama which is about a group of stealers who make their living scoring grabs. Their lives are reared after their crime master recruits them into a pinch which is their biggest challenge yet The movie was first added to Netflix on November 15th, 2018.
The movie is presently listed to leave Netflix encyclopedically on November 15th, 2021. A junking notice is presently showing on the title waking that your last day to watch the point film is on November 14th. That means Netflix bought the title with a 3- time license It’s worth noting that The Crew could conceivably be renewed and this is temporary still that seems doubtful.
As we mentioned the movie was latterly acclimated into a series that features some of the characters from the movie. Julien Leclercq returned to direct and write. The series launched in late September 2021 and at the time of publishing, hadn’t been renewed for a alternate season.
The movie also features in the recently created “ Ganglands collection” So why is The Crew leaving Netflix? Especially given there’s still plenitude of value for anyone who’s invested in Ganglands to watch.
The answer comes down to power and Netflix’s part in distribution for this specific title. As we ’ve covered ahead, there are multiple types of Netflix Original and in this case, Netflix is simply the exclusive transnational distributor of the movie.
This means that Netflix only licenses the movie, albeit it with Original branding for a fixed period of time and that period of time is now over It’s not the first Netflix Original to leave as we ’ve entered, numerous titles are leaving the service that have had Original branding and in numerous cases, don’t find new streaming homes after departing.
We should also note that the title does have a picking conflict too. The Kevin James- led sitcom (which was canceled after a single season) was also named The Crew. Of course, the series got over this by being called Ganglands outside of France.
