Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman Gamble $1.8 Billion on Quibi
Tumblr media
LOS ANGELES — They had to cancel the premiere party. But Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman have stuck with the April 6 start date of Quibi, the short-form video app for smartphones that they hope will attract millions of subscribers.The two veteran executives have led some of the nation’s top companies for decades. But they have spent the last two years in start-up mode, prodding investors to kick in nearly $1.8 billion and courting producers and stars like Jennifer Lopez, LeBron James, Chance the Rapper, Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Steven Spielberg and Chrissy Teigen. Now Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman are ready to unveil their ambitious venture right in the middle of a pandemic.“This is either going to be a massive home run or a massive swing and miss,” said Michael Goodman, a media analyst at Strategy Analytics.Quibi, a portmanteau of “quick bites,” will offer movies, reality shows and news programs made for the smartphone, with no installment clocking in at more than 10 minutes. The offerings fall into three main categories: movies that will be released in chapters; documentaries and unscripted reality shows; and quick-hit news and sports reports from NBC, BBC, ESPN and others. Fifty shows will be available Monday.Before the spread of the coronavirus, whenever Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman made their Quibi pitch, they described it as an on-the-go diversion for anyone standing in line at Starbucks or riding the subway. The pandemic changed the context. With potential customers largely confined to their homes, it will now go up against established platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video that can be watched on any screen, including the living room TV. Quibi works only on the phone.Ms. Whitman said she wasn’t concerned about the crisis’s effect on the start-up’s chances. “Think about how often you use your phone when you’re homebound,” she said. “People who are home with their children would really like a 10-minute break.”There is also the question of how much people are willing to spend on streaming at a time when nearly 10 million are out of work. Entertainment options have also expanded while Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman were building their app with 267 employees in an open-floor office in Hollywood. The Walt Disney Company and Apple joined the streaming party in November, with Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus, and TikTok, filled with short homemade videos, had a spectacular rise, hypnotizing the young viewers Quibi hopes to attract.Under those circumstances, Quibi (rhymes with “libby”) announced last month that it would be free for its first three months. After that, the cost will be $5 a month with ads and $8 without. Shortly after the announcement of the introductory offer, the company canceled its premiere party, which was expected to draw 150 celebrities among its 1,500 guests, because of the pandemic. But delay the launch? No way.“Given the quality and quantity and convenience of Quibi, we think it comes at a time when people are looking for relief, looking for distraction and looking to escape,” Mr. Katzenberg said. “Those are all the things we are trying to deliver to them.”Mr. Katzenberg, 69, and Ms. Whitman, 63, have dived headlong into a challenging third act, creating a product geared to people half their age at a time when millennials and Gen Z-ers have taken to needling their elders (see “OK Boomer”).The head of Walt Disney Studios at the time of the original version of “The Lion King,” Mr. Katzenberg has often gone against the grain. Passed over for the No. 2 job at Disney in 1994, he built a rival conglomerate, DreamWorks SKG, with Mr. Spielberg and David Geffen. He also waged a legal battle against his former employer, saying he had deserved more compensation. The bitter, headline-generating fight concluded with Disney handing him a settlement estimated at $250 million.DreamWorks faded, but DreamWorks Animation, the spinoff run by Mr. Katzenberg, survived until 2016, when Comcast’s NBCUniversal bought it for $3.8 billion. As part of the deal, Mr. Katzenberg received a $420 million payout — and reluctantly stepped aside.In the back of his mind was a failed initiative similar to Quibi: Pop.com, a side venture he had started in 1999 with Mr. Spielberg, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard as a venue for video shorts. It went bust before it even launched.Quibi’s other leader, one of the country’s most powerful female executives, rose through the ranks of American business at Disney, DreamWorks and Hasbro before she took eBay from a shop with a staff of 30 to a global powerhouse with 15,000 workers and $8 billion in annual revenue. When she left, in 2008, she was a billionaire.She went on to spend more than $100 million of her fortune to run as a Republican for governor of California, only to lose the 2010 election to Jerry Brown. A return to business put her in charge of Hewlett-Packard, which she left in 2017. “I’ve been working straight for 35 years,” she said upon her departure. “I’m going to enjoy some downtime.”But she soon joined Mr. Katzenberg at what was then called New TV, after he had raised $1 billion from Hollywood studios, the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and other investors. “She doesn’t like this, but I keep saying we’re two old dogs who have a new trick,” Mr. Katzenberg said at the time.Ms. Whitman left her home in Northern California for a West Hollywood high-rise. Now she can see Mr. Katzenberg’s house in Beverly Hills from her bedroom window.Start-ups rarely run smoothly, and several prominent executives have left Quibi over the last year, including Janice Min, the former co-president of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group; Diane Nelson, a former Warner Bros. executive; and Tim Connolly, a former Hulu executive. Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman are known as exacting managers who keep an eye on the tiniest detail.The company has also had trouble getting the word out. Although Quibi spent millions on commercials that ran during the Super Bowl and the Oscars, 68 percent of participants in a Morning Consult/Hollywood Reporter poll last month said they were not familiar with the brand.“Part of the reason awareness is so low is they are building a new name,” said Ross Benes, a video analyst at eMarketer. “Quibi takes time to explain. It’s not super clear that this will cost you $5 a month and you’ll get a lot of short videos.”Stay-at-home mandates have complicated the rollout, with meetings held via video conference. “Even though Zoom is great, I can’t really read the body language in the room,” Ms. Whitman said. “And that has always been an important part of how I gauge who is doing what to whom and how things are working.”Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman had an easy time making deals partly because of the terms they offer: The company pays for production costs and licensing rights, allowing anyone the creators of Quibi programs to retain copyright, meaning they can sell their work to another platform or network after a set number of years.Nicole Clemens, the president of Paramount Television, received an offer from Quibi for “When the Streetlights Go On,” a script about the aftermath of the murder of a suburban teenager that had once been shot as a Hulu pilot. “It was an incoming call,” Ms. Clemens said, “which is always nice to get.” The Quibi version will be part of the Monday launch.Writers who sign on have to follow a rule of Mr. Katzenberg’s: They must end each installment with a cliffhanger. Nick Santora, the writer of “Most Dangerous Game,” an action film starring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz, described hitting those marks as “hard but exhilarating.” To pull it off, he refashioned his 48-page pilot script, initially written for NBC, into a 150-page screenplay with a climax every 10 pages.“When you’re writing a regular script, and you need a scene to tell a certain arc in your story, and it takes 12, 13 pages, it’s no big deal,” he said. “You can’t do that in Quibi. Once you get to page 10, you’re done.”Quibi intends to set itself apart from YouTube, the leader in short-form digital video, because of its reliance on an old-fashioned Hollywood hallmark: production values. Quibi films cost up to $100,00 per minute. And Mr. Katzenberg’s long experience has taught him how to handle the talent, even as his reputation as a relentless boss holds firm.“You don’t always hear from the biggest exec at the company,” said Ryan Case, the director of “Flipped,” a comedy starring Will Forte and Kaitlin Olson. “But he called me, the writers and the cast members on a Saturday at our homes to say he was excited. It was both wonderful and classy.”Unlike Disney Plus, which gained subscribers on the strength of its “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian,” Quibi hopes to lure viewers with its overall lineup. “I think we have fantastic shows,” Ms. Whitman said, “but I also think it’s the sum total of what we are offering, as opposed to one ‘Mandalorian.’”The companies making a line of Quibi programming called Daily Essentials have faced the toughest challenge. Madeleine Haeringer, an NBC News executive producer, spent months assembling a 50-person team able to produce twice-daily 5- to 7-minute shows. Her job got trickier when employees were forced to work from home. A week before the start date, she delivered test episodes remotely, with anchors on iPads.“It’s incredibly daunting,” Ms. Haeringer said.Quibi’s unscripted shows bring to mind to cable fare and syndicated programs. Ms. Teigen’s “Chrissy’s Court” is the app’s answer to “Judge Judy,” and Ms. Lopez produces a show that follows celebrities as they give $100,000 to someone who meant a lot to them.Will Quibi be the next digital thing or a flop? That is the $1.8 billion question.“On the plus side, Quibi is like nothing else,” said Mr. Goodman, the media analyst. “On the other hand, while we know that there is a tremendous amount of video being consumed on phones, we also know that people don’t want to pay for video on their phones.”Mr. Katzenberg and Ms. Whitman say they will beat the odds. Noting Quibi’s debut slate of movies in chapters, Mr. Katzenberg said, “All five of those I think are great. Not good. Great.”Ms. Whitman sounded more circumspect. “This is very different from a movie launch,” she said. “We are building a new consumer product.” Read the full article

Hints
Vibrating Boxes
In most levels, there are boxes that hold usefull items like rage energy or health. If you want to stay quiet and save time while staying alive, all you have to do is go into stealth mode by holding the “L” button. While in stealth mode, when you go near a box with an item in it, sometimes it will shake violently. This will save you the trouble of going through other boxes and possibly exposing yourself to the enemy.
Ghostly Wolverine
This may take a while to notice. You must be in an area where you have to sneak up on guards. Activate “Sneak” mode (use his mutant abilities a.k.a. Spidey Sense) by holding the L button. Go up to an unspecting guard, but not very close. You will see a ghostly figure of Wolverine walking/jumping at a guard and then disappearing. Note: You must be using the Mutant Abilities to see Ghostly Wolverine. You can use this to see if you can Stealth Strike a guard. If you can, the ghostly Wolverine will appear, giving you a precise place to stand when starting your strike. It may not work always. I suggest trying it in Act II Part II (The Lurking Horror.)
Star Wars Reference
Wolverine’s voice is done by Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars episodes 3,4, and 5 (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi). For the Juggernaut battle, he fights a man with ultra psychic powers wearing a helmet. Juggernaut uses the word “Force” every other line.
Defeating Juggernaut
When the battle begins, you are in a force field arena. Try not to hit the force field, or you will get hurt. Enemies from outside the force field will be throwing green gas grenades at you. If you get dizzy from the green gas, rotate the Left Analog-stick to regain control of Wolverine. Juggernaut has a special move where he creates shockwaves by slamming his hands together. Try to get as far away from him when he does this to avoid getting hurt. Juggernaut is invincible while running; make him run into the the force field “corners”. The best way to do this is to stand at one of the “corners” opposite from where Juggernaut is standing. When you make Juggernaut hit one of the “corners”, he will get shocked, get thrown into the middle of the arena, and will become dizzy. Run up to him and hit him a few times. When you see the “Strike” message, strike him to make him lose health. Do this at least three or four times. After you strike Juggernaut several times, you will see Colloso jump over the force field fence. Run up to him and press Strike to make him throw Wolverine at Juggernaut to defeat him. In the first part, lure him into the actual poles of the fence. When he flies away and lands dazed, attack him from side and watch for the “Strike” message to appear. Later when he starts jumping, jump to avoid the shockwave and try to get him to jump into the electric beams. He is weak after he jumps. He will stand and send a series of shockwaves. Also jump over these. If he is on one side of the “ring”, run to the other side to avoid them. Watch out for the gas. When his health is gone, you must to finish him with a strike. Note: Beware of gas and watch your bar for your sickness level.
Beat Wendigo
Dodge the falling ice. Wendigo will run at you. Keep running away from him till he stops and immediately run behind him and hit him once or twice till you get the strike effect available.Hit Circle (on PS2, B on Xbox) and Logan will throw him (make sure to spin the left analog to build momentum).Keep repeating until he finally dies.
100% Health Act II Level I
Locate the health icon in the building as explained above and you will receive approx. 50% health. Instead of starting the generator, go to the bridge (across from the generator) and jump across the gap. You will see an enemy slip near the back of the truck. Go around the side of the truck, while using your senses (but be quick). As you approach the enemy in Senses mode, you will activate a Strike mode. Press the appropriate Strike mode button for the console you are playing on and Wolverine will throw the guard through the box in the truck and earn him a Strike bonus as well as another 50% health icon. Now the level will be much easier to complete.
Act II Level I
Immediately turn around and head in the opposite direction, run up the slight incline and jump over the edge (the fall won’t hurt you). At the bottom, turn left around the corner and run almost straight towards a tall building with windows at the top. At the front of that building, you will find a ladder. Press the appropriate button to climb to the top, and use your claws to bust through the windows. You will find an health icon inside. Go back outside (on the same side as the ladder) and look to the right (if you are facing the ladder). You will see a chain link fence. Go through it and then go through the next chain link fence. You will be at the power generator. Stand in front of the generator with a tear in it, and press the appropriate button to activate things (B on Xbox). Wolverine will take damage, but with the health pick up, he will not die. This will activate the generator. The large gate will be unlocked, but you won’t be able to approach it from the front. Sneak around to the left of the now open gate and enter from the left. Once inside make your way around to the room that has a cracked wall and a container in front of it. Attack the container and the wall will blow apart. Inside this next room will be the Comic Book Icon for the Classic Yellow and Blue costume.
Beating Sabretooth
Fight Sabretooth for awhile, wait until the tanker appears and then try and flip over Sabretooth and when Strike appears throw him headfirst into the tanker. Do this three times and you will defeat him. Once he is defeated, walk over to him, Strike will appear, throw him into the glass booth (automatically) and you will end the boss fight and earn an all Level Security Pass.
