Hulu to Run Epix Films as Netflix Deal Expires

Variety: Netflix customers soon will no longer be able to stream high-profile films like the “Hunger Games” movies and “Transformers: Age of Extinction” — while Hulu’s subscribers will be gaining access to them. Netflix said it won’t renew its deal with Epix in a blog post by chief content officer Ted Sarandos. The deal will expire at the end of September, removing such hits as “World War Z” and the “Rocky” films from Netflix. Epix confirmed the end of the relationship later by officially announcing that it and Hulu closed a multiyear, non-exclusive deal that will start Oct. 1.
