The GameStop Saga: Streaming Edition

The big news this week is still Reddit’s war against hedge funds, and it’s led to an astounding increase not just in stock prices but also in (newfound) popularity for “Wall Street” film titles.

Over the last few days — streaming engagement for movies like Margin Call, The Wolf of Wall Street, and others have skyrocketed among 2 million Reelgood users in the United States.

Of them, The Big Short is aptly getting the most attention. On both the 29th and 30th of January, the award-winning film starring Christian Bale and Steve Carell enjoyed more than 10x the amount of its typical daily streams before the whole GameStop saga blew up.
