2021-09-21
Netflix animated
movie The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf,
produced by the South Korean animation production Studio Mir is receiving
global attention.
According to Flixpatrol, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf was
ranked 2nd in Global Overall Audience Rank on September 1st upon release on
Netflix.
The Witcher is
based on the best-seller of the same title that sold more than 15 million
copies all across the globe. Its Netflix adaptation broke its streaming giant’s
record with 76 million views.
This is not Studio Mir’s first global
success: their previous Netflix show DOTA:
Dragon's Blood also ranked in the world's top 10 immediately after its
release in the first half of last year. Both titles were their work of art, craftsmanship,
and advanced technology from development to screen.
Early last year, Studio Mir joined The
Witcher world to expand the universe and released The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
Studio Mir is acclaimed as the only Korean
animation studio to successfully tap into the
North American market. It specializes in the entire production
from start to finish, including casting Hollywood actors, development,
storytelling, and directing. It was also the first Korean studio to strike a
production line deal with Netflix in October last year.
"The Witcher: Nightmare of the
Wolf is an extension to the Netflix most popular series The Witcher,” said Lee Seung Wook, Vice
President at Studio Mir. “It introduces Studio Mir's unparalleled storytelling
and producing skills to the global market.”
