US EditionNetflix inks global deal to stream Sony Pictures' films after theatrical window
The $7 billion multi-year deal gives Netflix worldwide streaming rights to Sony's films after theaters, boosting its library amid competition and industry consolidation.
- The new agreement establishes a multi-year global Pay-1 licensing deal for Sony films on Netflix, with full global availability in early 2029, rolling out gradually later this year.
- A multiyear agreement announced on Jan 15 expands a partnership the companies struck in 2021 and replaces the $2.5 billion five-year domestic deal expiring this year, with U.S. changes starting at the top of 2027.
- Highlights include Nintendo's live-action The Legend of Zelda, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, Sam Mendes's quartet of Beatles films, and Netflix licensing select Sony Pictures library titles.
- Industry sources say the pact, pegged at roughly $7 billion-plus through 2032, materially beefs up Netflix's theatrical slate and supports licensing to government regulators amid its Warner Bros. pursuit.
- Industry analysts note the overseas consolidation of Pay-1 rights, with Sony Pictures Entertainment reportedly shopping to Amazon before Netflix stepped in amid rival bids and lawsuits over Warner Bros. Discovery.
