Today, Barnes & Noble’s Nook Media announced a host of latest content licensing deals with some major players.
These deals will bring movies from Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount Pictures, Relativity Media, National Geographic, Little Pim, and movie Buff to the Nook HD and the Nook HD+.
“With the addition of those industry-leading studio partners, NOOK Video continues to expand its already robust offering, providing customers with an excellent wider choice of their favorite movies and television shows,” said Jonathan Shar, Vice chairman & General Manager, Emerging Digital Content, NOOK Media LLC. “Combined with NOOK’s seamless UltraViolet™ integration, we’re offering customers one of the crucial dynamic and accessible movie and television show stores available.”
If you’re wondering what content, exactly, is coming to the Nook Video catalog it’s some top-notch stuff.
The Hunger Games, the Twilight movies, Tyler Perry’s Madea Gets a task, Skyfall, Rocky, Fargo, Flight, Paranormal Activity 4, Act of Valor, Refuge, House on the End of the road; independent films from Film Buff’s catalog including Charles Swan and Exit from the Gift Shop; and television shows like Mad Men, Border Wars, Great Migrations, Amazing Planet; in addition to educational content via Little Pim, the leading foreign language learning program for babies, plus many more.
Barnes & Noble’s Nook division took a success over the vacations and the corporate posted poor Q3 results. i suppose snatching some great content for Nook Video is a start. I mean, it may’t hurt.
