We know that Hulu has disrupted the way we watch TV. But it’s done far less to change the way we watch movies. That’s because right now the movies on Hulu are incredibly obscure. But that doesn’t mean they have to be. Every week Hulucination will keep track of how many movies are on Hulu and how many reviews they have on Netflix (NFLX). We’ll chart the results as time goes by to tell you whether Hulu is getting closer to Transformers and farther from Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
Hulu Theaters were shuttered last week while Hulucination was on vacation. Sorry about that. But the curtain is raised once again to take a peek at Hulu’s forgotten movie section. The last two weeks saw the introduction of the Criterion Collection, a major boon for the aesthetes in the crowd.
But that doesn’t mean the movies are any better known. Since two weeks ago, Hulu has added 31 more movies, but the movies have actually gotten more obscure. Once again, only 64 percent of Hulu’s movies are in Netflix’s database, and of the ones that are, they’ve been reviewed a median of 10,158 times. The quality stays about the same, with an average rating of just over three stars. Bring on the blockbusters!
