NYT Says:
LOS ANGELES — DreamWorks Animation, the company behind successful movie franchises like “Madagascar” and “Shrek,” said it had completed a deal to pump its films and television specials through Netflix, replacing a less lucrative pact with HBO.
The Netflix accord, which analysts estimate is worth $30 million per picture to DreamWorks over an unspecified period of years, is billed by the companies as the first time a major Hollywood supplier has chosen Web streaming over pay television.
Deliver Me Review: The Swedish series follows two troubled teen and their troublesome lives when one of them is shot dead.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
This is a huge win for Netflix. Deals like this is why they had to raise the price of it's services in the US.
The only problem I have with this is Dreamworks is a bit "newer" per say so they adapt more easily to things like this. Notice how the "bigger" companies are still reluctant to do anything they dont make 100 percent profit from?
Take a film business class, you will see how many people get screwed and how the ultimate goal of companies like this is to simply make more money go into their pockets. They even tried to cut out theaters before.
Finally, some good news from Netflix.
