Scott Stuber's departure from Netflix could influence the company's film strategy and impact its growth trajectory, especially as it prepares to release Q4 earnings.
Stuber has been a key figure in Netflix's rise as a top movie studio. His exit could lead to uncertainty about the company's future direction in film production, which may concern investors.
