History

Historical Context

In 2015 Netflix acquired Cary Joji Fukunaga’s war drama Beasts of No Nation for a reported $12 million, one of the platform’s early original feature films. The purchase demonstrated that streaming could compete with theatrical releases and spurred a wave of high-budget digital premieres, a strategy that underpins later projects such as the 2026 Enola Holmes 3 release.
