The agreement will allow ViDeOnline to offer legal downloads of premium content from Warner Bros through its 08Media portal, which officially launched on March 29, 2007, in Hong Kong. The service will initially feature more than 100 motion pictures distributed by Warner Bros International Television Distribution (WBITD), including a mix of recent theatrical releases and favorites from the studio’s vast entertainment library.
Featured titles to be initially offered will include recent releases such as V For Vendetta, The Ant Bully, and Happy Feet, as well as popular catalog titles such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Batman Begins, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All video content can be streamed or downloaded and played on compatible home computers.
Making our movie content available to ViDeOnline’s Hong Kong consumers is an important step in our global digital distribution strategy, said WBITD president Jeffrey Schlesinger. This deal fits perfectly with our philosophy of providing consumers around the world with access to our world-class entertainment.
