    Netflix's upfront payment to filmmakers and other talent means movies will make money no matter what. However, the streaming giant could lose out on some projects with that practice, seeing as it puts a limit on potential profit. Those who believe their project could be huge blockbusters can choose more traditional studios and theatrical releases to be able to take home a percentage of the box-office money. That's why Netflix is thinking of offering actors, filmmakers and producers bonuses if their films become a success, according to Bloomberg.
