Including foreign films, Netflix currently has 4,822 movies. And many of those were obviously chosen because the streaming rights were super cheap.

Disney+ has just over 1200 films on offer, and Paramount+ has rights to about 4000, although it's not clear how many are available at any one time.

For comparison, your typical Blockbuster had over 10,000 films, and that was considered pretty average for a video store.

@RamenCatholic@mindly.social Who'd have thought? Thirty years later it's the movies we have to get illicitly.

Now we just need dispensaries to start renting videos under the table.
