AOL to Offer Movie Downloads from Four Hollywood Studios

Time Warner’s AOL has announced that it will offer customers downloadable movies through AOL Video portal from 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group.

The company started AOL video in August as a one-stop shop to search and download a wide range of video content from the Web. In July it announced that users can find,watch and share million of free streaming and pay-to-download video content from across the Web, broadcast and cable television, and movies.

AOL is trying to change its business from one dependent on subscription revenues to one driven by free programming and services funded by online ads. The movies are aimed at giving another choice to consumers who prefer to pay for premium programming.

Only 25 movie titles are available now, but the company planned to add hundreds in a few weeks, the company said.

Through AOL Video, popular movie titles - from recent DVD releases to a large selection of movies representing all genres - from 20th Century Fox, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group will be available for purchase and download with prices ranging from USD 9.99 to USD 19.99 per movie.
