2,000 Netflix movies to disappear today: 500 new titles to be added, May 1, 2013, people are wondering how the changes will affect them. According to UPI, the missing titles comprise "older classics from the 20th century," citing "Big Daddy," "Octopussy" and "Cruel Intentions" as examples.
There isn't necessarily cause for alarm. The 2,000 Netflix movies to disappear today will reappear somewhere else. To be specific, the 1,794 titles now belong to another service. Warner Archive Instant is a new service dedicated to bringing subscribers "rare and hard-to-find" flicks.
Joris Evers is the director of global corporate communications at Netflix. Evers provided the following statement directly to Mashable:
"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.
We are selective about what's available to watch on Netflix. We often license TV shows and movies on an exclusive basis, so we can provide a unique experience. We'll forego, or choose not renew, titles that aren't watched enough. We always use our knowledge about what our members love to watch to decide what's available on Netflix. Our goal is to be an expert programmer, offering a mix that delights our members, rather than trying to be a broad distributor."
