- scarface74 4y agoNetflix doesn’t have that kind of time. Just from the Disney stable. Pixar has been making blockbusters since 1995. Buzz Lightyear is hitting theaters this year based on a character that was introduced almost 30 years ago. LucasFilms has been making Blockbusters since 1977. Marvel based blockbuster movies have been successful since 1998. Disney itself has a stream of evergreen animation that goes back to 1937 (Snow White). Little girls still dream about being “Disney princesses”. Making hit movies is expensive. Disney isn’t solely dependent on its streaming revenue to make money, unlike Netflix.

- dragonwriter 4y ago> Netflix has been “winning” with no competition. Netflix has had direct streaming competition for a long time, and has lots of it now; their paid subscriber base in US & Canada is over half the number of households in those countries.
