Movielink lands Fox

Filed in archive IPTV on December 6, 2005

If you want to get access to high-quality movies legally via the Internet on a pay-per-view basis, Movielink is likely your destination. The company is a joint venture between MGM studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Studios.

Two weeks ago, Movielink signed a distribution deal with 20th Century Fox, covering both new-release and library titles. The first Fox titles to be available on Movielink include the CG-animated movie "Robots" and the horror film "Hide And Seek". Movies you will not find there are the Star Wars films because that series of titles is excluded from the deal.

MovieLink now has distribution rights to titles from each major studio. Movielink competitor, CinemaNow, has had a distribution deal in place with Fox for around two years.
