> Netflix on an iPhone? Probably not. At least not holding it in your hand for 2 hours.

Do you have data to support this or are you just assuming that your personal tastes are universal? I see quite a few people watching videos on phones or tablets – ever see parents loading up their kid’s iPad before a flight?

This may be: http://www.businessinsider.sg/netflix-has-300-million-viewer...

With 80% on a "big" device.

I also watch videos, but "video" is not a movie or series. Video sounds more like 15 min. max and/or not "cinematic".

I'm not sure what point you're making. 20% is still tens of millions of people watching Netflix (so movies and series) on mobile devices.
