Canal+ Signs Deals with Universal, Sony For New Film Releases
Under the pact, Canal+ now has access to the studios’ new films six months after their releases. Sony’s “Spiderman : No Way Home” is currently being broadcast on Canal+’s linear pay TV channels, along with its transactional VOD platform, My Canal.
Canal+ also has a six-month window on French movies. The company previously had to wait 9 months after the films’ theatrical releases and was able to reduce it by three-months under the new windowing rules last December. Canal+ is positioned way ahead of Netflix which has a 15-month window on new releases in France. The windowing rules will soon be up for re-negotiation and Netflix, like Disney and other platforms, are pushing to have an earlier access to movies. Disney went as far as to forgo the French theatrical release of its animated film “Strange World” to protest against France’s strict windowing guidelines.
While it clashes with streamers over windowing in France, Canal+ has become a major aggregator of platforms through deals signed with Netflix, Disney+ and Starzplay. Paramount+ will be the fourth U.S. platform to launch on Canal+ by the end of the year.
