<\/div>\n

One of the interesting narratives in the film industry this year has been the dearth of heavy-hitting blockbusters. So far, the two highest-grossing movies of the year were released before the summer, and the biggest long-term success has come from 2013’s Frozen<\/i>. Even with apes, Godzilla, and Transformers wreaking havoc in multiplexes, fewer people are opting to head to theaters this year. And perhaps not coincidentally, Netflix recently hit 50 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

If you’re one of those types that stays at home to watch movies, you’ll no doubt be excited about our most recent acquisitions. Big-name titles this time around include the first season of Netflix sensation Orange is the New Black<\/i>, Mary Poppins<\/i> origin story Saving Mr. Banks<\/i>, sci-fi action sleeper hit Attack the Block,<\/i> Despicable Me 2<\/i>, and weirdo late-night curiosity Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule<\/i>. And fans of John Waters might be excited by I Am Divine<\/i>, a biography about the director’s drag queen muse.<\/p>\n

Hit the jump for a full list of our July acquisitions, and stay tuned for the other 100+ items in our pipeline…
