I'm kind of up in the air about it. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 05/07/2010 01:56:46 PM
I've thought about this a lot with Netflix. I'd think it would hurt new movie sales a lot.

More total movies are probably being viewed though, so they're making money from that. There are tons of things I never would have watched without something like netflix.


They'll make more money off of Blockbuster for releasing them early on the rental side of things, but I don't think they'll sell more movies.

I'm definitely not going to buy something I haven't rented (or seen) 1st. Maybe it will increase this slightly, when someone already saw a movie in the theater and they'll buy it straight away instead of renting it first.

I definitely agree with you about seeing things I wouldn't have seen otherwise without Netflix, especially streaming.

We do redbox too, but we're way out in the boonies so returning them can be a pain. - 02/07/2010 10:58:28 PM 658 Views
