Netflix to Become Exclusive Pay TV Home for Disney Movies

As part of an earlier deal between Netflix and Disney, the streaming service will offer Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm movies starting in September. The films will be made available “in the same window that they’d typically be made available to HBO, Starz, and other paid TV networks,” but after the Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases, explains The Verge. “All Disney films released theatrically in 2016 and beyond are included in the agreement, for which Netflix is reportedly paying hundreds of millions per year.” The pact blocks subscription networks from airing Disney’s latest titles during the first-run pay TV window, and “keeps them off Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other streaming services.”
