Disney’s New Movies Land US Pay-TV Home on Netflix

VentureBeat: We’ve known for a while that Netflix and Disney had signed an exclusive licensing deal for the rights to all new films that hit movie theaters in 2016. Now we know we’ll start seeing the first fruits of that deal come into effect in September. “From September onwards, Netflix will become the exclusive U.S. pay TV home of the latest films from Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar,” said Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos in a blog post. The move represents part of Netflix’s bigger ambitions to host more unique content.
