1. Netflix Is Not Afraid of the Big Screen
Much has been made about how Netflix is undermining the way TV works, forcing old-school rulers
of the small screen to rethink their business models. In announcing the release dates for its first
original feature films, however, Netflix is showing it's not entirely opposed to tradition.

Idris Elba, comes out on the site October 16, 2015; that same day, the company says, it will appear
in select US theaters. Early next year, Netflix says, its Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel will
be released theatrically in China and on IMAX, as well as on Netflix itself.
By putting its movies on the big screen, Netflix makes itself eligible come awards season for a few
other golden statues to put beside its Emmys. By making movies and showing them in theaters,
Netflix also is giving notice that it's not just a platform for traditional studios' content; it's a full-
blown entertainment company all on its own.
Netflix movie release dates:
October 16, 2015: Beasts of No Nation, directed by Cary Fukunaga, starring Idris Elba
December 11, 2015: The Ridiculous Six, starring Adam Sandler
Q1 2016: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend, starring Michelle Yeoh
March 2016: Pee-wee's Big Holiday, starring Paul Reubens (yes, he's still playing Pee-Wee)
