When Netflix started they entered the market as a licensor of content from studios to be distributed as part of a streaming service.

This possibility largely no longer exists. All of the studios have bought out competition, stopped licensing a lot of their popular content, and now release their content themselves. This means there is little competition in the film distribution market for streaming, beyond PayPerView.
