GRRM Updates Fans on Multiple Projects
Quaithe from Asshai replied to Westeros's topic in Game of Thrones News
Happy New Year, Ran. Since it is technically 'next year' now, are there any updates on these projects, if you are allowed to share, of course? -

Yeah. I meant more Emmy voters. -

More probably more people saw those two shows than any other show. If the drama series nominations were per producer, you would've seen 3 or 4 shows taking all 8 slots. -

Which options provides the highest flexibility and reduces cost? Tall or Grande? Does Tall implies I can upgrade later for $100 or uses the $50 as a credit towards upgrading (whatever the cost maybe)? Also, what is the expected cost? This year's is $120, but it is in China. DC's was $325. Any thoughts on this?

The google trends I looked at are only for the US. Interest overseas as international releases were rolling out do affect searches in the states (unless you have evidence for the contrary). If your argument is that google trends are muddled by book and show searches. Then take a look at trends from the year before GOT aired. And here's AGOT. Here's F&B and here's HoTD. I think, this supports the notion GOT was growing in popularity (which it did) while HoTD is less likely to grow (maybe even shrink in the future; after all the pilot brought more viewers than the finale). Couple that with the lack of guild nominations, I see why HBO is pivoting toward maximizing profit per season.

Maybe. But google searches for GOT in the months following season 1 but before season 2 were around 15% from peak during season 1. HoTD is around 1-2%. I find it hard to believe most of the GOT activity is due to news about season 2. Besides, GOT got guild nominations, HoTD didn't. I see HBO's point, the show is mostly for the fans and won't add to their Emmys tally (aside from technical awards, which I think it has a great shot). From HBO's POV, this is a cash cow, and they need to get as much as they can without pissing off the fans and spending too much. Eight episodes work. They can give the fans impressive battles and sets. It's one long story after all. Chunking it makes total sense.
