Netflix Delivers 2 Billionth Movie Since Subscription Service was Launched in ’99

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) , the world’s largest online movie rental service, today said it has delivered the two billionth movie since the company’s subscription service was launched in late 1999.

The milestone was reached yesterday when a Blu-ray version of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s romantic comedy Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist was delivered to Clay Shannon, a Netflix subscriber in Birmingham, Ala., from the company’s distribution center in Atlanta. Netflix said it is giving Mr. Shannon a complimentary lifetime subscription to the Netflix service.

Netflix today serves more than 10 million subscribers and ships approximately two million of its iconic red mailers per day from 58 distribution centers spread geographically across the United States. The Netflix service is widely recognized as among the best and most reliable in Internet commerce and has for eight consecutive polls been named the number one Web site for customer satisfaction by the independent Ann Arbor, Mich., research firm ForeSee Results.

The two billion deliveries were generated from a DVD library that now spans more than 100,000 titles, including more than 1,300 that are available in high-definition on Blu-ray. When Netflix launched its subscription service on September 23, 1999 from a lone warehouse in San Jose, Calif., the title count was just over 2,000. It took the company eight years to achieve one billion shipments, a milestone it crossed in February 2007, and a bit more than two years to deliver the next billion.
