Netflix haven't renewed one of their contracts, I think it mostly affects content from Lionsgate. I wonder how much can disappear before consumers get sick of it.
Interesting question. I for example use netflix mainly to view series that have not been available in my country before (or only packed with lots of useless stuff in some expensive cable subscription) or for their own content (House of Cards, Orange is the new black etc).
I vaguely recall having heard that movies are actually not the main interest of their viewers but that might have been some PR ;)
They actually lost access to a lot of movies, with the expiration of their Epix deal.[0] Between that and Starz, I don't know how anyone can actually rely on Netflix for movies anymore. They've bet the company on their original programming and the ability to binge-watch back catalog shows.
