NYT: Netflix strikes contend with Dreamworks, will begin streaming movies, TV specials in 2013

It looks as if those rumors of a streaming deal between Netflix and Dreamworks Animation were nearly as good as advertised. Details are still fuzzy at this point, however the Ny Times is reporting that the 2 parties have reached an agreement to stream Dreamworks’ movies and television projects, as a part of a deal worth an estimated $30 million. Under the contract, which replaces the same pay TV pact between Dreamworks and HBO, Netflix will begin offering exclusive access to the studio’s new films in 2013, with Antz, Kung Fu Panda and other titles from its library slated to become available for streaming sometime thereafter. The corporate won’t be confined to selling digital copies of Dreamworks’ movies within a particular period, either, drawing a massive distinction between itself and HBO, which requires studio partners to halt digital sales outside of an exclusive window. HBO probably isn’t too thrilled to determine Netflix strike what Dreamworks chief exec Jeffrey Katzenberg called a “game-changing deal,” however also has a brand new partnership of its own with Summit Studios, which it caused board after letting Dreamworks out of its contract a whole two years early. We’re still looking ahead to official confirmation of Netflix’s latest deal, but we’ll inform you once we get it.
