Well, it's not confirmed so we don't know that for sure. If they do stop offering movies though my personal guess would be that they possibly weren't making enough money off of the existing lineup to make it worthwhile, and are unable to secure big name movies or shows with worldwide distribution rights as that is next to impossible as they said in their Twitch TV broadcast a few months back. The only way they could bring hollywood stuff here is if GOG customers would be willing to accept movies/TV shows with regional distribution as that's how ownership works in the movie industry on practically every film produced, with different owners on each property. If the customer feedback they got from our community here was a wall of "worldwide distribution or nothing at all thanks" like I suspect, then we'd more or less be leading towards the "ok, nothing at all it is then" because there aren't other options available from what has been said.
If true that sucks but sooner or later some other DRM-free store is likely to pop up online that was able to negotiate DRM-free hollywood movies and TV Shows without any pre-existing expectations of worldwide distribution built into the negotiation. Those of us who that isn't a problem for can just add a new bookmark to our toolbars at that time I guess. :)
