Per the new agreement, reported by Bloomberg Business reporter Lucas Shaw on Twitter, Universal films like Candyman, No Time To Die and F9 would now be shown once again at AMC Theaters locations.
After that point, a Premium VOD release like the one Trolls: World Tour, The Invisible Man and other Universal/Focus titles saw happening throughout this summer would be allowed.
Per another report from Variety, AMC Theatres and Universal would share the revenue from this model, which would require films only be offered as $20 PVOD rentals, without the option to buy.
So the proposed freeze on showing Universal content in AMC chains is now discarded, with a specific 17-day exclusivity period now required for films to be shown at the chain’s various venues.
