Starting in 2022, however, Sony will instead send their movies to Netflix; the streaming service would get “an 18-month exclusive window for Sony films.”
Previously, Sony movies would go to Starz for streaming, as the result of a deal between the two company.
Unlike a lot of their competition in the world of major movie studios, Sony Pictures doesn’t have its own streaming service.
Through its deal with Marvel, Sony has the rights to Spider-Man and his entire library of related characters — which, through this deal, gives Netflix the streaming rights to those characters as well, at least until Sony decides to launch its own “Sony+” or whatever.
