"Scott Stuber's Departure and Netflix's Film Future"
Scott Stuber, Netflix's film chief, is leaving to start a new media company, leaving a significant role open. His departure raises questions about Netflix's film strategy and future, as the company shifts away from a volume business and faces competition from Amazon and Apple. Stuber's tenure at Netflix saw a focus on increasing original film output, but more recently, he expressed interest in quality over quantity. His exit leaves films in various stages of production, and his successor will need to navigate Netflix's role in the evolving movie business, balancing quality, profitability, and cost-cutting.
