Netflix Inc. has been making its own movies for years, but 2019 may be remembered as the year it truly became a film studio.
The company began the year by joining the Motion Picture Association of America, the Hollywood trade group that represents movie studios. It went on to release nearly 60 English-language feature films over the course of 2019, including Oscar contenders “The Irishman” and “Marriage Story.”
