Miramax is joining other studios such as Warner Bros. and Universal in offering films for viewing on the massive social platform Facebook. Going by the name of ‘The Miramax eXperience’ the app can be accessed here and will provide full length feature films, movie clips, games, and other social tie-ins.
The rental-on-demand service has opened up with a charge of $3 (30 FB credits) for each film and will eventually be sold in a manner that can be downloaded rather than just streamed meaning they could be transferred to other devices. The launch library includes over 20 films such as Gangs of New York, Pulp Fiction, and Good Will Hunting.
Only three months ago Miramax also signed a deal to stream their films through Netflix.
