    $30 mil per movie title!
    That just seems insanely expensive to me.

      Stock prices don't affect revenue and assets (except for the stock held by members of the company) of a company who issues the stocks, its the other way around. Netflix took a hit to its stock because people are not confident they will continue to grow as a company, however there was not an instantaneous change in their revenue. They still had as many subscribers after the stock took a hit as before +/- a few thousand probably.

    Netflix is pioneering the new TV landscape. This nerd, for one, wants to hear news about them.

    Why would you let them do that?
    No disrespect intended, but seriously... Want remarkable children? Learn to tell your kids no.
