beIN Launches New Cinema On-Demand Service

beIN is bringing the latest movies straight to subscribers before they are available in cinemas with a new on-demand service for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

With movie theaters closed across the region due to the coronavirus pandemic, this new offering has been launched so that new movies can be kept alive and offered immediately to families and households across MENA. More than 20 new movies will be released and available on beIN ON DEMAND under the Cinema category in April and May.

The launch slate includes The Song of Names, starring Catherine McCormack, Tim Roth and Clive Owen; Into the Labyrinth, starring Dustin Hoffman; and Hope Gap, starring Bill Nighy and Annette Bening. The movies will be offered for $10 per film.

Yousef Al-Obaidly, CEO of beIN Media Group, said, “At this incredibly difficult time, we know that people and families across MENA are looking for inspiration, light relief, and something positive to entertain them whilst they are being asked to stay indoors. beIN is proud to play its part during this crisis, and we’re thrilled to launch this new service with film distributors so that, together, we can provide the latest movies straight to subscribers whilst cinemas are closed.”
