Yes, Netflix is the top subscription streaming video network, but it still runs a DVD-by-mail service in the U.S. that’s beloved by movie fans.
But the subscriber base for the DVD service continues to shrink. That’s mostly because people are choosing the convenience of streaming video. It doesn’t help that Netflix no longer promotes its legacy DVD service.
Netflix ended the third quarter with 2.85 million DVD subscribers, down 20% year over year. It exited the second quarter with 3 million DVD subscribers.
Seven years ago, the DVD service had 13.93 million subscribers.
I hope Netflix doesn’t pull the plug on its DVD service any time soon. It has a superior selection of movies compared with its more popular streaming cousin. It also offers a complementary set of TV series on DVD that aren’t on the streaming service.
Check out the service at DVD.com.
