Netflix has announced it has taken over the historic Paris cinema in New York.

 

It's the first time the streaming giant - which has been accused of threatening the cinema experience - has taken a long-term lease to screen its films.

 

Hollywood website Deadline said the deal was a 10-year lease agreement.

 

Previously, Netflix has rented various cinemas for limited periods to ensure its films are eligible for awards. Its Oscar contender Marriage Story is now on at the Paris, which dates from 1948.

I like Netflix and so does my wife.  Cheap subscription and shedloads of content.
