Miramax, Hulu in Multiyear Deal

LOS ANGELES/SANTA MONICA: Hundreds of films from Miramax, including Pulp Fiction, Swingers and Scream, will be available to Hulu Plus subscribers, while a selection will also be offered up on the free ad-supported Hulu service.

Effective today, Hulu Plus subscribers will be able to watch, commercial free, hundreds of Miramax movies in high definition (when available), on multiple platforms—TV, tablet, computer and mobile phones. The free ad-supported Hulu will soon rotate a selection of about 15 Miramax films each month through Hulu.com.

“Making our films available via premium digital distribution channels is extremely important to Miramax,” said Mike Lang, the CEO of Miramax. “Hulu has established its presence in the market as a leader in innovation and in delivering value for consumers and content owners. As one of the early promoters of Hulu and its CEO Jason Kilar, I couldn’t be more excited than to be in business with them today, and we’re thrilled about the prospect of enhancing both our brands by making our films accessible to Hulu’s fast-growing audience.”

“The Miramax library includes some of the most popular and acclaimed films ever produced,” said Jason Kilar, CEO of Hulu. “It is an honor for the Hulu team to present our users a film roster that includes the likes of Pulp Fiction, My Left Foot, The English Patient and many more."
