The past few years have seen Netflix get Sony movies after their theatrical runs\u2014and exclusive access to some of the studio\u2019s movies, like Fixed<\/em> and KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>. Even with the latter film\u2019s ongoing (and now award-winning) success, Sony\u2019s going to be keeping chummy with the streamer through the remaining 2020s and beyond.<\/p>\n The companies recently re-upped their partnership with a multi-year deal that\u2019ll again put Sony movies on Netflix after they\u2019ve ended their theatrical runs and left VOD. So when it\u2019s time for, say, Spider-Man: Brand New Day,<\/em>\u00a0Beyond the Spider-Verse<\/em>, or The<\/em> Legend of Zelda<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>to hit streaming, you\u2019ll be able to find them on Netflix.<\/p>\n Netflix also has licensing rights to \u201cselect SPE feature film and television library titles,\u201d meaning we could potentially end up with another KPop <\/em>situation where something really takes off and it\u2019s locked to streaming forever, aside from any special-event screening engagements.<\/p>\n According to Variety, this new deal doesn\u2019t actually go into full effect until 2029, but Netflix and Sony got ahead on this before individual territory rights open up later in 2026. It might also be a pretty expensive deal: sources alleged to the outlet it\u2019s above $7 billion in worth, over double the $2.5 billion deal they struck for domestic rights in 2021. Executives from both Sony and Netflix said the deal\u2019s been a boon, with Sony\u2019s executive VP Paul Littmann highlighting the attention\u00a0films like\u00a0Uncharted\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse\u00a0<\/em>get when they hit the streaming service.<\/p>\n Between its ongoing Sony deal and potentially owning Warner Bros., everything\u2019s currently coming up Netflix. It may have hit studios and the licenses to media from studios it doesn\u2019t own, but can it have any greatness of its own making?<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
