The availability of the film adaptation of Jodi Picoult’s novel, Small Great Things, has fluctuated on the Netflix streaming platform. This film’s presence in the Netflix library, like many licensed titles, is subject to distribution agreements and renewal schedules, causing it to be removed and occasionally re-added depending on these contracts. As a result, a user searching for the film may find it absent from the service at certain times.
The licensing of films for streaming platforms is a complex process involving negotiations between production companies and streaming services. These agreements dictate the period a film remains available, often with stipulations regarding geographic regions. Factors influencing the renewal of licenses include viewership data, the film’s performance on other platforms, and the overall strategic objectives of both the production company and the streaming service. This system ultimately affects content availability and accessibility for subscribers.
