Global Top 10 on Netflix begins on Netflix and ends on Netflix.
The popularity of a movie from the street to the internet is more about publicity than quality.
Yes, it is a basis for bragging rights, but if your movie makes the Global Top 10 of Netflix, but fails to qualify for the Official Selections of the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, Berlinale, Toronto International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival and fails to qualify for the nominations for the Academy Awards, you are still lagging behind the filmmakers who belong to that Ivy league of the best filmmakers in the world.
Moreover, Nollywood movies making the Global Top 10 have not stopped Netflix from losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers and not even up to 50, 000 of the millions of the followers and fans of the stars on Instagram have subscribed to Netflix to watch their movies, except clicks of Likes and Thumbs Up for movies they have only seen the trailers. Because if all of them subscribed, Netflix will be celebrating gaining millions of new subscribers in Nigeria and not lamenting over loss of millions of subscribers worldwide.
I rate and regard the outstanding filmmakers who have made official selections and nominations and won awards at major international film festivals above those who.have not done so, but competing for bragging rights, Likes and Views on Instagram.
