LOVEFiLM and STUDIOCANAL sign exclusive content deal
LOVEFiLM and STUDIOCANAL have signed an exclusive long-term deal which will allow LOVEFiLM members access to the portfolio of movies from the international film distributor for a 12-month window.
UK and German members of the rental website will be the first to instantly stream all of STUDIOCANAL's latest and future releases, which will only be available to LOVEFiLM members who subscribe to streaming as part of their package.
LOVEFiLM will also partner with STUDIOCANAL to support its UK and German titles from early stage production; including additional distribution support through theatrical, home video and streaming on-demand releases.
LOVEFiLM will continue to rent all available STUDIOCANAL DVD and Blu-ray titles via its online rental-by-post service.
Olivier Courson, chairman and CEO of STUDIOCANAL, said: “We are thrilled with our partnership with LOVEFiLM in the UK and Germany and look forward to providing the service with a range of world-class STUDIOCANAL productions from the US, UK and Germany.
“This deal perfectly complements our digital strategy and further supports all areas of our expanding business in the UK and Germany. And it will serve to further our policy of multi territory production and distribution for our productions such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or the next Coen brothers movie.”
