网飞公司 Signs Deal with Disney for First-Run 和 Older Movies
Someone at 网飞公司 must have wished upon a star, because this is just the deal that the over-the-top subscription streamer needed. 今天, 网飞公司 和 Walt Disney Studios announced that they've signed a multi-year licensing agreement that will bring first-run 和 classic Disney movies to 网飞公司.
Beginning in 2016, 网飞公司 will get new theatrical releases from Disney. 网飞公司 beat out Starz for the first-run offer, 和 this marks the first time that a major studio has chosen to license new releases to an online service rather than a pay TV channel. Disney's current agreement with Starz ends in 2016.
The deal won't include movies from DreamWorks Studios, which has an agreement with Showtime, but will include titles from Pixar 和 Marvel, as well as Lucasfilm, which Disney is now acquiring. It will also include direct-to-video titles starting next year.
网飞公司 subscribers won't need to wait until 2016 to get Disney video: according to the 网飞公司的博客, older Disney titles are going into the 网飞公司 library starting today. Tim Burton's creepy cult classic "The Nightmare Before Christmas" should be available later today, 和 other Disney favs -- such as "Dumbo,”“《百家乐软件》," 和 "Pocahontas" will soon follow.
Neither company disclose the financial terms of the agreement.
For a company that's made some bad decisions, a jolt of Disney magic is just what it needs. This is also a boost to the online video industry overall, which has become a serious competitor to pay TV.
