Netflix and Nu Image/Millennium Films announced that first-run theatrical
films distributed by the Nu Image/Millennium Group will be available on Netflix for "view now" streaming viewing.
Historically, these films have been licensed to
premium TV channels. They expect five
to ten theatrical films per year to flow to Netflix through the
agreement, in general just a few months after their release on DVD.
Nu Image and Millennium Films are best known for big budget
action/thriller movies including: "The Expendables," "John Rambo,"
"Brooklyn's Finest," "Righteous Kill," "16 Blocks" and "Black Dahlia."
Netflix recently announced a deal with EPIX for streaming of titles from EPIX from Paramount, Lionsgate
and MGM titles.
Netflix was one of the first video viewing apps on the iPad. Netflix launched a free streaming iPhone/iPod app in August. We expect other mobile viewing apps to follow.
The Netflix App supports any iPhone or iPod touch device running
iOS version 3.13 or later. Membership plans start at $8.99 a month.
Among the first films to be covered under the deal is Dito Monteil's
2011 scheduled release "Son of No One," a crime drama starring Channing
Tatum, Al Pacino, Katie Holmes, Tracy Morgan, Ray Liotta and Juliette
Bincoche about a young cop assigned to the working class Queens
neighborhood in which he grew up and the discovery of a horrible family
secret. Also slated for Netflix via the new agreement is 2011's
scheduled "Elephant White," starring Academy Award nominee Djimon
Hounsou and Golden Glob® winner Kevin Bacon in a drama about a contract
killer who gets swept up in the dangerous business of white slave
traders in Thailand.
