(News | Source: The Hollywood Reporter)
HBO has bought the rights to air 85 feature films from Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
Films included in this library are “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “National Treasure” and “The Princess Diaries” from Disney; “Finding Neverland,” “Sin City” and the Oscar-winning “Chicago” from Miramax; and “The Village” and “Step Up” from Touchstone Pictures.
These films will be available in 2012 for license terms between 18 and 24 months, depending on the film.
This is the second purchase of a Disney library by HBO. In October, they bought 100 titles, including “Pearl Harbor,” “The Sixth Sense” and “Pulp Fiction.”
Newer Disney films go to Starz Entertainment, which also recently renewed its output deal with Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
