I have experienced the exact reverse of this issue.
I have a separate display in which I had the non-fullscreen netflix movie viewer, when I pressed full screen it opened in my laptop monitor, not the separate display. I used Safari to confirm it was an issue with the browser, in Safari I did not have this issue.

Is this still an issue ?

In 2011, Netflix used Silverlight, but now it uses EME so this bug is no longer relevant.
