The movie part of the deal starts with titles released theatrically in the U.K. last year, which will be made available to subscribers “as early as March 2013,” the companies said. The deal will also give LOVEFiLM members access to movies and TV series from the studio’s library of older titles, they said.

That content and a “huge range of other titles” will be made available on demand via PCs, Macs, PS3s, Xbox 360s, iPads and several other devices, including Internet-connected TV sets and Blu-ray players, the companies said. LOVEFiLM already signed similar content deals with Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, NBCUniversal, Entertainment One, StudioCanal, Disney/ABC, the BBC and ITV. LOVEFiLM will continue to rent Fox titles on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-Ray 3D via its LOVEFiLM By Post service, it said.
