Sky has announced an extension to its relationship with Warner Bros. which will see customers in the UK, Germany and Austria benefit from access to some of the world’s most exciting films.
“When it comes to movies, Sky Cinema offers our customers the best choice, the best platforms and our renewed deal with Warner Bros. will strengthen our service even further. Warner Bros. offers some of the most iconic films, actors and directors and we’re thrilled to continue this relationship.” Ian Lewis, Group Director of Sky Cinema commented. Lewis went on to explain that the deal will give viewers the chance to see Warner Bros. films such as “Wonder Woman” premiere on Sky Cinema sooner than ever before (following the home entertainment window), special channels dedicated to some of the biggest movie franchises, plus brilliant films from the Warner Bros. library.
“Our friends at Sky have been great partners and Sky Cinema has been a terrific home for our movies for many years. We are pleased to have the opportunity to not only continue our strong relationship with Sky but to build upon it even further.” Jeffrey Schlesinger, President, Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution commented.
Mr. Lewis said that now Sky Cinema customers will be able to enjoy all of the top ten grossing films in the world from last year and access top movie brands including “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings.” This is on top of dedicated genre channels, a brand-new premiere every day and over 1000 movies on demand.
“We are thrilled to have reached such a great agreement to extend and build on what is already a hugely successful relationship between Sky and our friends at Warner Bros.” Kate Ingber, Head of Acquisitions, Movies commented.<script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script>
