That is probably too expensive unless they release to theaters first.
What they could do is create the missing midrange movie that Hollywood just doesn't make anymore. Hollywood makes huge expensive movies and indie studios make cheap movies. Netflix could make the 40 million dollar style of movie that nobody makes anymore.
In fact, they sort of are, they just do it in a longer form.
