They’re on a streaming break — but “Friends” will still be there for you. WarnerMedia’s home entertainment division is aiming to capitalize on the brief disappearance of the hit sitcom from streami…

and Peacock, respectively, disc sales for both complete series skyrocketed: Physical sales spiked in July and remained high through the end of the year.

“I know a lot of fans were upset when it exited Netflix, so we wanted to make sure that fans know where to find ‘Friends,’” Markson says. “We’re looking at a broad-based marketing and publicity plan to get the word out and to continue to drive sales around the franchise.” Markson notes that promotional activities with regional partners have already started, and media buys will begin in the next several months.

According to Chandler-Payatt, total disc sales in fiscal year 2019 declined 22% in units and 20% in revenue, but declines for TV shows were smaller , and helped by “Game of Thrones” , the “Yellowstone” series and complete series of other popular catalog titles. Digital sales, meanwhile, were up 5% in 2019 — buoyed by theatrical titles.

wanderson91 this is SO dumb, its on every half hour of everyday on at least ONE channel at ALLLL TIMES

Or watch it on TBS.

Meh!! I'm a hardcore believer of pirated copies.

What sort of crazy person needs a guarantee of access to Friends?

Or you can watch several episodes every day on cable ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

I just don’t care.

Thats why piracy will always be the best option.

That’s how I feel about video games, too

Yayy! 🙋🏻‍♀️

And Blu Ray usually offers digital versions so you can still stream!

getfriendstoliskatwedding

So no ones gonna watch it on hbomax

Good news for Peacock!

Mission accomplished.

Well sure, everyone has Netflix so why buy it? But no one was buying it before, what’s 3x0?

Netflix - seriously Friends?!, record sales? Friends -

But who has a DVD player

This probably means more shows being pulled from streaming services for long stretches, and then more hyped streaming relaunches. Like the old Disney vault model. But it will only work with super popular shows.

Andrew_Reiner So brave, the people who feel the need to tell the world they don’t think this popular show is funny. As if they matter.

lmao people are still pretending this is a good show? cant relate!

I don’t get the hype...? after all these years ..

Friends isn’t funny or a good show.
