Netflix Spending $8 Billion On 2018 Content

Netflix plans to add around 700 original movies and TV series to its line-up this year, totalling a spend of $8 billion. That’s two-thirds the GDP of North Korea. Amazon’s rival Prime video lags behind, despite having an estimated 90+ million Prime subscribers in the US alone. A standard subscription costs $10.99 (£7.99, $AU13.99) a month, while the premium sub with 4K video and four concurrent streams costs $13.99 (£9.99, $AU17.99).
