Miramax films offered to Netflix members in the UK and Ireland

 

Netflix Inc.  and Miramax today announced a new multi-year digital licensing agreement that will bring a broad range of acclaimed Miramax films to Netflix members in the UK and Ireland.

Beginning in early 2012, Miramax titles will be available for Netflix members to watch instantly in the UK and Ireland streamed over the Internet to connected TVs, tablets, game consoles, computers and mobile phones.

 

Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.  Netflix announced in October that it would launch its service in the UK and Ireland early in 2012. 

 

"Netflix is proud to be able to offer the unmatched mix of award-winning, independent and commercially successful films Miramax is known for," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer. "Miramax films are already favorites of Netflix members in the U.S. and Latin America and we're sure they'll be incredibly popular in the UK and Ireland as well."

 

"We are thrilled to grow our partnership with Netflix as they expand their platform into the UK and Ireland," said Mike Lang, CEO of Miramax.  "This agreement further extends our broader international digital distribution strategy, as we continue to offer consumers around the world our extraordinary collection of Miramax films."

 

Additional Miramax titles available to members of Netflix in the UK and Ireland will include "The Aviator," "Bad Santa," "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," "Chocolat," "Finding Neverland," "Gangs of New York," "The Hours," "Kate & Leopold," "Rounders," "Sling Blade," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and several of the "Scary Movie," "Scream" and "Hellraiser" films.  An extensive selection of legendary Miramax titles is already available to Netflix consumers in the United States and Latin America.
