Because the deal gives Netflix a huge movie with a huge star, while for Paramount it represents an innovative means of accruing revenue from an established franchise (rather than the traditional cinematic roll-out they would have helmed themselves).

    It would have made more sense to remake “Harlem Night” before doing Coming to America. We have so many black talented comedians this generation that Harlem nights would have made more sense to remake. Of course Richard Pryor died and left Eddie Murphy the business. The last Beverly Hills cop was terrible.

    • Bravo!! November 14, 2019

      Netflix should remake Harlem nights

      • Gworl Bye November 14, 2019

        No they should not. There isn’t one black comedian from this generation that’s even half as funny as the original cast. Not one.

      • OOPS November 14, 2019

        Richard’s dead
        Foxx is dead
        Della is dead
        Robin Harris is dead

        Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, David Chappell, Tiffany haddish, Kat Williams, Mike Epps, Tracy Morgan, and Kevin Hart etc. I’m not saying a remake but a part 2 like coming to America. The ending to Harlem nights open up for an Continuation to a part 2. Of course all of the old folks died off and now a new era of hustler joins eddie Murphy and the surviving gang

      Remake after remake. They should have casted Camila for this

      • Gworl Bye November 14, 2019

        Camila who?

    • Holliewuudd November 14, 2019

      No, leave Harlem Nights alone. They could never top that.

  2. Okay? November 14, 2019
