Hollywood Reporter Interviews Netflix's Ted Sarandos
Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos that is full of great info about Netflix:
There are more female subscribers than male now (53% to 47%). "Women look for convenience, selection and value. It's not unusual for women to make the entertainment selection in the household." 96% of Netflix subscribers watch movies on a TV (I watch some on my notebook computer on the train). Netflix carries 900 Bollywood titles. The top 3 rentals are Mystic River, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Crash (this is different than what the web site shows). Less than 30% of Netflix's daily shipments are new releases, compared to 80% at Blockbuster. Netflix plans to buy about 100 small films a year, like Cowboy del Amor.
Thanks to Joe and Al for sending this in.
