Netflix has had a recent spate of cancelations for some of its TV shows. But, as it turns out, the streamer isn't afraid to pull off an HBO Max as it reportedly just canceled two completed films.
Hollywood is no stranger to completed movies getting canceled. Last year, Warner Bros. canceled Batgirl, using the movie as a tax write-off. Other studios such as AMC, Paramount, and Disney have also canceled some of their projects.
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix now canceled The Inheritance and House/Wife. The Inheritance is directed by Alejandro Brugués while House/Wife is helmed by Danis Goulet. The canceled movies will likely be shopped elsewhere by Netflix, so there's a chance we'll see them premiere on another platform.
Netflix may have offloaded the two movies in a bid to maintain the same level of spending on its content. Last year, the streaming leader spent around $17 billion on the content appearing on its platform. Netflix may be looking at maximizing profits from its premier movies.
