Net subscriber change in the quarter was an increase of 510,000 for the third quarter of 2009.
Netflix’ revenue for Q4 2009 was $444.5 million, a 5 percent sequential increase from $423.1 million for the third quarter of 2009. The DVD-rental company was estimated to report revenues of up to $446 million. Netflix expects revenue to climb to $490 million to $496 million this quarter.
Also noteworthy: the percentage of subscribers who watched instantly more than 15 minutes of a TV episode or movie in Q4 2009 was 48 percent, compared to 28 percent for the same period of 2008.
