WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING ON NETFLIX THIS WEEK?

Even though this post is a collection of the movies coming to and leaving Netflix this week, their library actually changes just about every day.

Do movies change on Netflix?

Netflix’s lineup of movies and TV shows is constantly changing as the company gains and loses licensing rights for different content.

Why does Netflix keep removing movies?

Netflix licenses TV shows and movies from studios and content providers around the world, and those licenses can expire if they’re not renewed. If one of your favorite TV shows or movies you love is leaving, it indicates that the licensing agreement with the content provider is about to end.

Is the Netflix library shrinking?

According to The Fiscal Times, “Netflix’s streaming library included close to 11,000 titles in 2012. Currently, the library contains about 5,300. Every month, many subscribers search for one of those “What’s Coming to and Leaving Netflix This Month” articles without noticing that the exits are far outpacing the arrivals.”
