In response to "Related to below: watched “Beverly Hills 4.” Netflix spent $150M on this for no revenue when this would have been $200M domestic no question. -- nm" by MDH

I think Netflix is a different situation than the studios that have pre-existing theatrical history.

The entire business model for Netflix is streaming. Their entire marketing is that if you want to see their content, you have to subscribe. Period. Offering their content, at least initially, any other way dilutes their product. They can still consider ancillary down for road for their content. Ironically, they are being very strict about their windows. Netflix content is Netflix only for a long period of time. Then they can supplement that with purchased content from elsewhere.

That being said, I think their episodic content has been much more successful for them than big theatrical movies.
