Miramax Does Digital Deal in Asia

SANTA MONICA: A new multi-year agreement sees a range of films from the Miramax library made available to Hulu subscribers in Japan.

Effective immediately, Hulu subscribers in Japan can instantly watch a number of Miramax movies on multiple platforms. This includes Chocolat, The English Patient, From Dusk Till Dawn, Gone Baby Gone, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, Swingers and There Will Be Blood, among others.

This follows on a June announcement between Hulu and Miramax for the U.S. market. Earlier this month, the studio also signed an international deal for its titles in Latin America.

“We are pleased to partner with Hulu in Japan, which has built a compelling platform in a market we are very focused on,” said Mike Lang, the CEO of Miramax. “We look forward to making our terrific movies available to many more television and digital platforms in Japan, as well as other markets throughout Asia, as the audience continues to expand exponentially and new platforms continue to proliferate.”
