I was just reading an older article from 2011 stating that Netflix may well bid for some first run film rights when the current deals with Sky are up for renewal.. Netflix's boss wants to poach new film rights from one or two Hollywood studios and sees Sky as his biggest competition in the UK.

Good points. But since that 2011 article, Sky has renewed all its contracts with the Hollywood studios so that threat has yet to prove itself. Sky's content threats seem to be from BT on sports rights and content providers like Disney setting up their own streaming services.
