When the following movies from Spider Man, Venom, and Jumanji The series will leave cinemas next year, moving to a new streaming house. variety reports that Netflix has won a nearly two-year bid for exclusive streaming rights in the U.S. at Sony Pictures movie releases starting in 2022. Yes, MCU fans, that means you can clock Spider-Man: No Way Home as many times as you want, without having to pay an Amazon Prime Video rental or sign up for a Starz subscription.
Because it seems that the US is one step closer to the safe opening of cinemas across the country, this will not be a configuration similar to what Warner Bros. and his corporate cousin HBO Max elaborated: The films will be directed to Netflix during industry references as a “single-pay window” – a period of time that traditionally begins nine months after its theatrical release, but which has become getting shorter in recent years because, well, of situations like this Godzilla Vs. Kong on the computer screen last weekend. However, some Sony movies may premiere on Netflix: variety reports that the studio and streaming service have reached a first-hand agreement for any “movies produced for the live streaming market”.
The library’s titles are also part of the package, which means that Netflix will license older movies from Sony, Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Screen Gems and TriStar Pictures. Netflix subscribers can expect to see a mix of classics and new studio releases next year and for a few years after that – the transaction is expected to last at least five years. This is two years longer than the partnership between Disney and Netflix that was supposed to start in 2016 – an arrangement that was discontinued following the Disney + announcement.
