Movies are becoming more global, which is making them less intimate. If you make a movie for the world, you don't make it for any country.
From Ted Sarandos
The longer people watch Netflix and the longer they stay members - they're the criteria of success for us.
Typically on a TV series, the writers on a show are writing for their life almost every episode. When someone sits down to write a Netflix show, they know there's going to be a 13th hour.
When we started looking at the bigger television ecosystem, you see that there's not that many serialized TV shows being made for TV. The economics are lousy: They don't sell into syndication well; they're expensive to produce.
In the first week of release, 'Beasts Of No Nation' was the most watched movie on Netflix, in every country we operate in.
If you want to go out and see a movie and sit in a dark room with strangers, it's not an experience you can replicate at home.
To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it's not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It's the art of motion pictures.
Netflix is distributed in 50 countries around the world. It's an incredibly affordable, well-distributed product that gives anyone with access to the Internet and a screen access to content in a very affordable way.
Being able to compete for consumers' attention and dollars over the preciousness of access is a thing of the past. Everyone is using the Internet to globally market a product.
It's a massive consumer frustration around the world about how long they have to wait after the U.S. to see television shows and movies. In the U.S., there's the frustration of having to wait a year to watch a movie in the format that you choose.
