United Leeds Endeavours understands that Lovefilm.com has added yet another major film
studio, Twentieth Century Fox, to their catalogue.
After recently
reporting that online DVD rental and streaming service, Lovefilm.com, had
resolved their dispute with Universal Pictures it now seems that their service
is to grow further. United Leeds Endeavours, a direct sales and
marketing company which specialises in working with the entertainment industry,
learnt at the end of last week that it would be adding another Hollywood studio
to their ever expanding catalogue.
The exclusive deal
with the Twentieth Century Fox TV unit will mean that subscribers to the
service will be able to watch shows such as 24 and Sons of Anarchy. This is in addition to exclusive deals that they already hold with Sony and Warner
Brothers. Lovefilm.com now have over 2 million subscribers in Britain, Germany
and Sweden in a sector that is widely expected to completely destroy
traditional DVD rental shops.
A spokesperson for
United Leeds Endeavours said, “People now expect to be able to access films and TV
shows immediately and want a huge catalogue at their finger-tips. Online
streaming services such as Lovefilm.com and Netflix offer this solution. We’re certain that this is going to be the future of home entertainment.”
There has been a great
deal of competition between Lovefilm and Netflix over recent months but Netflix
have really struggled to get their foot in the door in the UK. Lovefilm.com
which is owned by Amazon have been quick off the mark to expand their
online streaming service to offer a wider variety that Netflix whilst still
keeping the option for DVD postal rental.
The spokesperson from United Leeds Endeavours continued, “Although
increasingly we feel there will be more and more demand for streaming-only
services, some people don’t have the internet capability or just prefer to have
the hard copy. The fact that Lovefilm.com offers both is a feather in their
cap.”
