This exciting agreement further demonstrates the importance of that content to our distribution partners as they expand their audiences and deliver the very best in entertainment, ”said Keith Le Goy, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution.

Netflix’s Scott Stuber adds, “This not only allows us to bring their impressive array of beloved movie franchises and new IP to Netflix in the US, but it also creates a new source of first-run movies for Netflix movie buffs about worldwide.”
