Deal Gives Intertainer Access to Films for Net
A deal between online entertainment company Intertainer and a unit of Universal Studios will mark the first time Universal’s first-run films will be available on demand to Internet subscribers.
The agreement between Culver City-based Intertainer, known for its video-on-demand services, and Universal’s pay-per-view group allows the online firm to test whether there is a demand for secure streams of full-length feature films via the Web.
Intertainer will have access to a library of 200 feature films including “Spy Game,” “K-PAX” and “Mulholland Drive.” Intertainer already has an existing cable video-on-demand deal with Universal.
