History

Historical Context

Netflix began streaming video in January 2007 with only 1,000 titles, while studios such as Warner Bros. and Paramount initially licensed second-run films, assuming it would not threaten theatrical revenue. By 2010 Netflix offered a standalone streaming plan and secured a near-$1 billion deal with major studios, prompting Hulu’s launch and forcing filmmakers to prioritize digital viewership metrics today.
