Hulu signs multi-year deal with Miramax

Hulu Plus

Movie studio Miramax has inked a multi-year deal with video streaming service Hulu that will see hundreds of Miramax films available for streaming to Hulu Plus subscribers, along with a rotating set of 15 movies available to non-subscribers through ad-supported streaming. Miramax films included in the deal include acclaimed movies like Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, and My Left Foot; the companies claim hundreds of the movies will be available in high-definition.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Making our films available via premium digital distribution channels is extremely important,” said Miramax CEO Mike Lang, in a statement. “As one of the early promoters of Hulu and its CEO Jason Kilar, I couldn’t be more excited than to be in business with them today, and we’re thrilled about the prospect of enhancing both our brands by making our films accessible to Hulu’s fast-growing audience.”

Earlier this month, Miramax announced a multi-year streaming deal Netflix; again, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Miramax spun free from Walt Disney late last year and has distribution deals with Studiocanal and Lionsgate.

The top movies on Prime Video were all added in the last month, and there hasn't been much movement with the latest selections. But for fans who enjoy action comedies, Prime Video is serving up Medellin and our favorite Christmas movie of 2022: Violent Night.

This week notwithstanding, Prime Video usually has a wide selection of new and classic titles. So have some patience with the platform, since Prime Video will have better offerings throughout the summer.

The cast of Blood & Gold.

Welcome to the first weekend of June, which just so happens to be the best time to be a Netflix subscriber. Netflix tends to drop most of its new film additions on the first of the month, which boosts its already large library.
