First observation: why do countries like Tonga and Suriname have 2000+ movies available? Second: why do all the Arab countries have a similar movie count - around 460?
- tehwebguy 11y agoMovie rights for distribution in Tonga might just be cheap. Maybe Netflix only has licensed to 640 movies with no sex, gay people or drug use? Or maybe movie studios don't want to license their content that might make them look sleazy to Arab nations? Just guessing. Or maybe it's very lucrative to sell exclusive movie licenses directly to the Emirates? Edit: Looks like the current Tarantino movie is playing in Dubai, so probably not a content thing.
- Cyph0n 11y agoContent is not an issue in the UAE actually. In cinemas nudity and sex scenes are cut, but DVDs etc. are sold as is. Could it be that a single company holds all distribution rights for the Arab World?
