An interim report after the stock market closed on Thursday - with profits in line with expectations - was dampened by a forecast of lower revenue in the third quarter of this year.

The drop in Netflix's share price coincides with a wave of tech mania sweeping stock markets around the world. The Tokyo Stock Exchange fell 4 percent in choppy trading, while tech-heavy exchanges in Seoul and Taipei plunged more than 6 percent.
