Netflix Lose Titles Taken By Warner Archive Instant

The ‘Oldie but Goldie’ streaming service, Warner Archive Instant has an unusual business model. Charge more than Netflix or Hulu and show only old stuff! But as a consequence, Netflix are losing a big chunk of their catalog as Warner take the content to their new site.
Warner-Brothers-archive-instantReported by Slate as a, “Streamageddon”, Netflix are said to have lost an estimated 1,794 movies from the Warner Brothers archives, just in time for Warner Brothers to add them exclusively to their own internet TV service.
To complicate matters, Warner in a tweet denied they had pulled the movies from Netflix, and Netflix themselves seemed to confirm this when they stated that the missing content was due to an Epix agreement expiring, and that many more titles will replace the ones leaving. In an email sent to the press, Netflix said,
“The vast majority of the titles that expire on Wednesday are older features that were aggregated by Epix. We recently added many great, more recent titles such as ParaNorman (Universal), Hunger Games (Epix), Safe (Epix) and Bachelorette (Weinstein). Tomorrow we will also add MI:2, among many other titles. Netflix is a dynamic service, we constantly update the TV shows and movies that are available to our members. We will add more than 500 titles May 1, but we also have titles expiring, this ebb and flow happens all the time.”
The WB Archive instant service for US viewers launched last month, costing $10 monthly (compared to $8 for Netflix), runs on PC’s, tablets, phones and Roku streamers  and offers instant viewing of “rare and hard-to-find movies and TV” shows. When they say rare, they mean rare. The archives are said to head all the way back to the 1920′s.
