Netflix is calling for a cap on the mandatory investments it is required to make in French content as it pursues its lobbying push to gain earlier access to newly released movies.

The U.S. streaming giant, which has become one of the biggest private backers of French film and TV production, is warning that the current rules are becoming unsustainable, and argues that without changes, American platforms could end up accounting for nearly half of all financing for French creation by 2030, up from roughly a quarter in 2024, according to estimates cited by Le Monde.
