Netflix: We Have the Potential to Change the Film Model

Los Angeles Times: Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer, on whether his company will change the movie model: “We’re premiering a few original films this year. I don’t know that this is the slate of movies that’s going to change the universe or change the trajectory of the business. But I think it’s a step in the right direction, which is premiering the movies on Netflix, doing some simultaneous release in other windows — but not ahead of Netflix — and because Netflix is so well-distributed globally and it’s inexpensive, that it is a good distribution platform for people who want to see a movie.”
