Disney acquires own streaming facilities, will pull Netflix content

I feel like the title might be jumping to conclusions. From the article, emphasis mine:

> With this strategic shift, Disney will end its distribution agreement with Netflix for subscription streaming of new releases, beginning with the 2019 calendar year theatrical slate.

I don't read this as "Disney will pull content currently on Netflix from the platform", and I can't see anything else in the article that would suggest this.

> CEO Bob Iger told CNBC's Julia Boorstin Disney had a "good relationship" with Netflix, but decided to exercise an option to move its content off the platform. Movies to be removed include Disney as well as Pixar's titles, according to Iger. Netflix said Disney movies will be available through the end of 2018 on its platform. Marvel TV shows will remain.

Ah, good to know. At least the title isn't wrong, even if it's not reflected in the content of the article. Thanks!
