Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
First there was just Disney, then Paramount joined the fold, and now leading independent film studio Lionsgate has added its impressive list of movie titles to the Apple iTunes store in a deal announced today.
When Apple launched movie downloads on iTunes in
September 2006, as predicted by many the only studio to come on board
was the Steve Jobs connected Disney, with a relatively paltry
collection of 100 movie titles.
Then, however, Jobs proudly announced at the Macworld Expo that
Paramount, with an additional 150 titles in its kit bag, had signed on
to join the iTunes stable. One could feel that the cracks were
beginning to appear in the dam of resistance from movie studios to
iTunes movie downloads.
Now, with an additional 150 titles, including action favorites from
Arnold Schwarzenegger such as Terminator 2 and Total recall, iTunes has
a respectable choice of 400 movie titles on offer and good prospects of
other studios joining the fold soon.
"We're delighted to offer these incredibly popular Lionsgate films on
iTunes, and look forward to adding even more films in the future," said
Steve Beeks, president of Lionsgate. "iTunes lets users download these
wonderful films to watch on their computer, TV or iPod, so movie fans
can take their favorite Lionsgate films with them anywhere."
"The iTunes Store is by far the most popular online movie store in the
world," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes. "We're
thrilled to be adding this phenomenal collection of Lionsgate titles
from Hollywood's leading independent studio, including such
blockbusters as 'Terminator 2.'"
