Hulu will also offer some of the films on the ad-supported Hulu.
"Making our films available via premium digital distribution channels is extremely important to Miramax," said Mike Lang, CEO of Miramax. "As one of the early promoters of Hulu and its CEO Jason Kilar, I couldn’t be more excited than to be in business with them today, and we’re thrilled about the prospect of enhancing both our brands by making our films accessible to Hulu’s fast-growing audience."
Beginning today,Hulu Plus subscribers will be able to watch hundreds of Miramax movies in HD when available, on TV, tablets, computers and mobile phones, without ads. Hulu will also offer 15 rotating Miramax films on Hulu.com each month with periodic ad breaks. It is the first time the movies will be available though ad-supported streaming.
