MUMBAI: As part of its plans of digital distribution across the globe, Miramax has signed a multi-year agreement with Hulu. With the deal in place, Miramax will offer films from its library in Japan.

Financial terms of the Japanese deal have, however, not been disclosed.

The move comes after a larger domestic deal between the streaming service and the studio last June. Currently, Miramax films will be available for streaming through the Hulu Plus subscription service.

“We are pleased to partner with Hulu in Japan, which has built a compelling platform in a market we are very focused on,” Miramax CEO Mike Lang said. “We look forward to making our terrific movies available to many more television and digital platforms in Japan, as well as other markets throughout Asia, as the audience continues to expand exponentially and new platforms continue to proliferate."
 
As part of the new ownership, Miramax has grabbed the priority of exploiting its library of Oscar-winning titles.

Films from the Miramax library that will be available to Hulu
subscribers in Japan include Chocolat, The English Patient, From Dusk Till Dawn, Gone Baby Gone, Good Will Hunting, Jackie Brown, There Will Be Blood, Scream and Spy Kids.

In addition to Hulu, Miramax has also inked deals with Netflix.
