Disney And Marvel To Show Exclusively On Netflix
Trending News: Netflix To Get Exclusive Rights For Marvel Movies And Star Wars

Why Is This Important?
Because this is really going to hurt Hulu, Amazon and HBO.
Long Story Short
Starting in September, Netflix will become the only pay TV shop in town that'll have the rights to show movies from Disney and its subsidiaries. That means upcoming movies like The Avengers and any of the future Star Wars sequels will be exclusively shown on one streaming service.
Long Story
It just became even harder to reject subscribing to (or at least stealing your ex's) Netflix.
The streaming service, which already takes up more of our time than reading, exercising and socializing, just made a huge announcement that's sure to cause its competitors to sob into a pint glass.
In a blog post unveiling what movies will be out this summer, Netflix announced that movies from Disney and its assets Marvel, LucasFilm, Pixar will exclusively be shown on Netflix in the U.S. from September onwards. The move will affect all Disney films starting from 2016, according to The Verge, which means movies like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the first two Avengers movies will still be available elsewhere.
This comes a long four years after a reportedly $300 million/year deal with Disney that was signed back in 2012 and will undoubtedly tilt the pay TV scales over to Netflix and away from its competitors Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBO Now — or at least cause you to subscribe to more than one streaming service.
Netflix in the U.S. may boast a whopping 81 million subscribers as of April's numbers, but maybe it's just me or is Netflix sort of becoming less appealing lately? Sure, it's got great original content Daredevil and House of Cards to name a couple — but honestly not usually on HBO's level and spending hours to decide on which movie to watch again is getting kinda old, especially now that there's other alternatives. That is to say, this is huge for Netflix and will presumably cause a lot of people to stick it out with it or even consider joining up with the rest of us.

Ask The Big Question
Does this make Netflix an unfair monopoly, similar to the cable companies that many cord cutters left in the first place?
Disrupt Your Feed
No way anyone's leaving Netflix now.
Drop This Fact
While Netflix brings in more new movies, it's removing some 90s classics for the kids (and secretly adults).

Netflix Disney Movies Collaboration: Netflix Bankrupt?
Writer - Renz Tengco on May 24, 2016 ( FX NEWS CALL- Financial News
A Netflix Disney partnership “looks” good. Netflix is one the world’s leading paid international streaming video businesses and not many have actually stepped up to the video streaming site’s competition. Most recently in a bid to increase their market share and after coming under fire from critics with regard to its variety in show and movie titles, they have announced on Monday that they will be the exclusive carrier for movies from Disney.
Disney has a number of cashcows under its belt including the highly successful Star Wars line. However, there are still no reports on which particular Disney shows or movies will be released.
According to their head of content, Ted Sarandos, in a blog post, “From September onwards, Netflix will become the exclusive US pay TV home of the latest films from Disney.” That’s not all, according to the same blog post, they will also be featuring (exclusively) films from Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar.
TechCrunch is reporting that this offering is not only geared towards its viewership audiences but also to its institutional investors. According to TheStreet, UBS has “reiterated” a “buy” rating on its stock with $141 price target, RBC Capital has also had good ratings for Netflix, with a $140 price target and an “outperform” rating on the stock.
According to Peter Jaffray from UBS, “We recently conducted a survey of 2,000 internet users in Brazil & Mexico (1,000 each country) and found awareness of Netflix, as well as intent to subscribe, is high.” This can only mean that the future growth of the company in new markets is potentially high.
However, analysts and investors alike still have to “watch” and see if the company really develops in the future. New markets for growth would also translate to diversifying appetites for better programming, and they would have to partner up with other production houses as well in the future. Netflix Disney is not a sign of trouble but potentially profit. Disney is definitely a great start.
