According to the Business Insider, Netflix has agreed to a 28-day window after WB movies go on saleĀ that a Netflix subscriber can’t rent them. Warren Bros. apparently thinks they may sell more movies this way. Who knows? Personally, I don’t think it’ll affect me at all. I’ve already waited 6 months after its theatrical release for it to come onto DVD, what’s another 28 days?
Apparently Netflix doesn’t seem too worried about the deal because they do not rely on new releases as a huge way of money-making the way major video rental chains do. I usually get my new releases from redbox anyway.
One plus side of this is that Netflix will get more streaming WB movies out of the deal which I personally think is fantastic.
