Over the past few months, Netflix has added more than 8.76 million new subscribers to the current total Netflix users of 247.15 million. The 70 percent increase in the third quarter made Netflix reflect on its success.

Meanwhile, the news of this price increase was welcomed by investors until their shares rose to 390.80 US dollars (Rp 6.1 million) from 346.19 US dollars (Rp 5.4 million). Netflix also managed to make a profit of up to 8.54 billion US dollars (Rp135 trillion).
