@kasey__moore Also: competition. There are a lot of options now and still the same number of hours in a day. The overall engagement reports have been flat while the subs have grown. The good news is that users are still paying but they are also watching less.

Netflix dominoes are falling, David Fincher is now getting the “Greta deal” (the first deal) and will debut Cliff Booth movie in IMAX theaters globally over Thanksgiving and then on Netflix for Christmas. AMC facilitating this despite the short window.

[Lucas Shaw @Lucas_Shaw]

In mid April, Netflix had its two worst weeks of streaming since Nielsen started measuring.

The week of April 13, its highest-rated programming was reruns of Grey's Anatomy.

Dan Lin is scaling back Netflix’s film output as data shows TV still drives engagement and retention in streaming. https://t.co/ku4gsQsLw4

[Brandon Katz @Great_Katzby]

The streaming model is built on the back of TV. Film libraries still matter, but not as much as the industry once thought.

Big news: @reedhastings is stepping down from the board of @netflix.

[Lucas Shaw @Lucas_Shaw]

Netflix has cut back its output of original movies by more than 50% from four years ago.

(It still releases the most original movies of any company.)

Movistar+ strikes again.

BREAKING: The United States has threatened to drop their biggest bomb on Iran. B-52s are being loaded with DVDs of the Melania documentary.

[Rick Ellis @aysrick]

The big question is whether Sarandos can talk his way past this.

This is a funny way of admitting that quantitative social scientists just churn out garbage that they themselves don’t want to write or read

Tenemos nueva bio.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Jeff Bezos gave Trump $40 million by buying the 'Melania' documentary through Amazon.

Last week, it premiered.

Now, Trump's 'Secretary of War' visits Bezos' Blue Origin, which gets billions in government contracts.

Trump gets paid. Taxpayers get screwed.

@kasey__moore There's also the sophomore jinx to worry about. Stranger Things is a blockbuster, but you need a second hit to have a track record.

[Kasey Moore @kasey__moore]

Thanks @JamesFaris_ and @BusinessInsider for the mention!

Netflix Original movie viewership is down, and perhaps the reduced output has a role to play!
