Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is once again making headlines, not for his movie projects, but for his AI filmmaking start-up which has reportedly acquired a massive deal of $587 million with streaming platform Netflix. Let's delve in to know more details about the major acquisition.
Ben Affleck's AI deal with Netflix
In a company's Form 10-Q report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Netflix reportedly confirmed that it completed an acquisition in March for a total purchase price of approximately $587 million with Ben Affleck's AI startup company InterPositive.
