About Netflix
Mailed you DVDs, killed the video store, invented binge-watching, and now spends more on content than some countries spend on everything. And the long game: $100 at its first close here (2002) would be about $66,247 today.
Did you know?
- In 2000 Netflix offered to sell itself to Blockbuster for $50M; Blockbuster passed.
- The name of the company that would bury it? There is exactly one Blockbuster store left, in Bend, Oregon.
- Its best month on record was January 2013 at +78.46%; its worst, September 2011 at -51.8%.
