Miramax in Streaming Deal with Netflix in Latin America

SANTA MONICA: Hundreds of titles from the Miramax film library will be offered digitally for the first time in Latin America under a new deal with Netflix.

Netflix members in Latin American territories such as Mexico, Brazil and Argentina will have access to more than 140 Miramax movies, with dozens of titles to be added on a rotating basis. The deal includes such films as Chicago, Chocolat, The English Patient, Gone Baby Gone, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, Swingers, There Will Be Blood and Scream.

Netflix has been streaming Miramax movies in the U.S. since May, but this new deal marks the studio’s first international digital pact.

“We are very pleased to launch our first international digital deal through our friends at Netflix,” said Mike Lang, the CEO of Miramax. “The robust Netflix platform will provide a proven avenue to reach Latin American audiences and take advantage of strong subscriber growth prospects. We look forward to growing the international audience for the Miramax library through many more partnerships like this around the world.”
