The availability of motion pictures for immediate viewing through the Netflix streaming service, particularly films that are currently screening or have recently completed theatrical runs, is the focus. For instance, titles that debuted in cinemas within the past year and are now accessible for home viewing via the platform fall under this category.
Accessibility to recent cinematic releases via subscription services has reshaped viewing habits. It provides audiences with convenient options to experience current films without requiring theater attendance. This shift influences box office performance and accelerates the lifecycle of film distribution, impacting both independent and major studios.
