Netflix loses 1,794 videos from its streaming catalog:

The Netflix competition heats up, for the 55+ demographic.

An expiring contract for Netflix means the streaming video service will lose 1,794 pieces of content, according to Mashable. Netflix’s agreement with Warner Bros., MGM, and Universal expired Wednesday, meaning customers will lose the ability to watch such morsels as Cruel Intentions and Big Daddy.
The contents of Netflix’s instant streaming catalog wax and wane all the time, but it’s rare that there is such a mass exodus from the service. Starz let its own contract with Netflix expire in February 2012, which resulted in the loss of titles like Amélie and around a thousand others.
Warner Bros. Is taking its business to its own streaming service, WB Archive Instant, which is priced at $9.99 per month. If the service’s best offerings are placed front and center on the home page, shown above, we’re not entirely sold.
