Netflix Become Disney's Favorite; Online Streaming Site Gets Sole Airtime For U.S. Pay TV Home; Licensing Deal Can Cripple Other Sites?

It appears that Netflix had just bagged the solo deal of exclusive airtime for U.S. Pay TV Home. The deal made Netflix become Disney's favorite tool to air its movies. However, notions of the exclusive deal crippling other sites arise.

"From September onwards, Netflix will become the exclusive U.S. pay TV home of the latest films from Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar," said Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos, as cited by Venture Beat.

It is worth emphasizing that this will apply only to new theatrical releases, as there are separate licensing deals in place for other Disney content. Netflix's "exclusive" partnership with Disney also extends into original programming, with Marvel's "Daredevil" debuting on the video-streaming service last year, reports the same post.

Meanwhile, Time also conveyed that while specific films were not named, the vast range of movies from the Disney franchise could span from cartoons to "Star Wars," which means that there will be something for everyone.

The licensing deal will propel Netflix into Disney's magical world of wonders and trade. As Netflix's ambitions get bigger along the way, many are forecasting the move as part of a mainstream strategy of the online streaming tech firm.

Given the fact that Netflix was first known for slating original features, the licensing deal with Disney has opened new doors for the company. By becoming one of the global streaming services, the connection and linkage with Disney is anticipated to boost the profits and sales of Netflix as a global streaming service firm.

However, with the many elements at bay, it is still unclear as to how far the linkage would bring forth. As for the benefits, it is irrefutable that Disney's legacy and prowess are sturdy and strong. With the licensing deal at hand, Netflix's way of dominating the world of movies and trades online has just begun. Owing to the collaborative works initiated with Disney and the solo deal, the era of Netflix has just been materialized.
