Netflix has increased its original movie releases by nearly a fifth this year, dialling up the pressure on the pandemic-stricken cinema industry.
The US streaming giant has unveiled a slate of 70 movies for 2021, marking a 17pc jump on 2020 – and the previous three years – when it released an average of 60 original films.
This year’s line-up will span movies with Oscar winners Leonardo Di Caprio and Meryl Streep and action stars Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.
