Netflix

The streaming entertainment giant, which jumped up 33 spots on this year's list, saw its bets on original content pay off with a 54% rise in profits in 2019. Netflix also continued its experiments in high-prestige filmmaking with last year's Oscar-nominated "The Irishman," directed by Martin Scorsese.
