Netflix's latest "Knives Out" thriller explores faith and religion as detective Benoit Blanc investigates a murder in a Catholic Church over Easter weekend.

Several Hollywood unions, including the Writers Guild of America and Teamsters, have expressed serious concerns over a potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery or its assets to Netflix or Paramount.

The business of Hollywood was in trouble long before the earth-rattling news that Netflix had inked a $72 billion takeover of Warner Bros. And while the deal is widely seen as a coup by Netflix, once a scrappy startup that had to fight to be taken seriously,

If the deal goes through, an algorithm-powered streaming titan would gobble up a 102-year-old movie studio synonymous with the romance of old Hollywood.

Hollywood director Carl Erik Rinsch has been found guilty of stealing $11 million from Netflix and using it for his luxurious personal expenses, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a release on Thursday,

Since Netflix announced its plan to buy Warner Bros. Discovery this month, film exhibitors have expressed consternation and worry as to what the pending merger would mean for the theatrical business if the world’s leading streaming service acquired one of Hollywood’s oldest studios.

The streamer is rolling out a fresh batch of Christmas movies this December, including three world premieres. From the Kate Winslet-directed Goodbye June to the ridiculous My Secret Santa, these holiday (and holiday-adjacent) movies are best enjoyed with a piping-hot cup of cocoa and a few tissues.

Netflix is ringing in the holidays with another slate of Christmas-themed movies, but while this year's crop of films is a bit less starry than last year's, viewership is in pretty lockstep as subscribers flock to small-to-mid-budget rom-coms that channel the spirit of the season.

Who do you believe? The battle for control of Warner Bros. and HBO is coming down to an enormous bet on competing visions of the future of the entertainment industry. On Dec. 5, Netflix landed a whale of a deal that sent shock waves through the community.

When a buzzy new movie or show drops on Netflix, it's a pretty safe bet that it'll shoot to the top of the streamer's top 10 most-watched lists. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, I was pretty surprised when the new Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson series got stuck at number three on the list—is that not enough star power to hit number one?
