Whitney Houston movie yanked from Netflix streaming (Updated: happened before death)

Streaming rights to the Whitney Houston movie The Bodyguard were revoked at Netflix after her death. According to a Netflix rep quoted by Dan McDermott, the production company (Warner Bros., per IMDB) “saw an opportunity to make really a very large amount of money on the DVD sales of her movies”.

UPDATE: Netflix says its staff were mistaken. Dan writes: Netflix is telling the truth. The rights were pulled before her death … Unfortunately the rep and his supervisors were wrong.
