'We're shooting bullets but they're using machine guns!' Netflix and Amazon outspent everyone at Sundance - here are the films they dropped millions on
Even before the festival began both Netflix and Amazon were aggressive with pre-buys, but then when everyone touched down in Park City, Utah, they kicked it up a notch.

As one source at a theatrical distributor told Business Insider during the fest, "We are shooting bullets but Netflix and Amazon are using machine guns."
Here's a breakdown of all the movies you'll be seeing on Netflix and Amazon in the coming year.
