Netflix Plays the Waiting Game (Motley Fool)
Shares of Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) are moving higher after another content deal that won’t kick in for several more years. Starting with its 2016 releases, Netflix will be the exclusive stateside U.S. subscription service to stream first-run titles by TWC and Dimension Films during the pay TV window, when movies become available to the premium movie channels. Netflix is already the streaming home for the studio’s foreign films and documentaries, so it isn’t a surprise to see this relationship expand.
