What counts as a view? This number is self-reported by Netflix, but the criteria that they are using is anyone who watches 70%+ of the 2h 4m movie (1h 27m).
Why does this matter: Netflix is currently taking on the movie industry with a completely different distribution model compared to a traditional studio.
Quote from Rich Greenfield — Managing Partner @ BTIG:
“Netflix has clearly taken over TV in the last 10 years…It does not seem crazy to believe that they can do the same to the movie biz as they accelerate film production.”
