The article is light on details but crux mostly on Cage not being an “ai-friendly actor”. Not sure if the film would use extensive ai elements or what.
On a side note never heard a movie tout its “minutes viewed” by audience.
All streaming shows primarily judge themselves by minutes view.
Spider-Noir is a series. Minutes viewed is a very good metric for a series because viewers frequently drop off part of the way in. Combine that with viewership, and you can see whether people are giving up after one episode, many episodes, or finishing the whole thing.
