Netflix takes on the networks again, snags streaming rights for Open Road Films, Well Go
Netflix is adding a few more options to its Watch Instantly catalog with new deals recently announced. An agreement with Well Go USA includes new and catalog Asian action flicks like Ip Man 1 & 2, and The Man from Nowhere, while a separate deal with nascent studio Open Road Films locks up its movies for streaming in the "pay TV window." After movies like Killer Elite and The Host finish their theatrical and DVD run, the only place to find them will be on Netflix streaming instead of on TV, similar to its deal with Relativity Media. If you hadn't seen Ip Man yet and like kung fu flicks at all, we'd suggest adding that to your queue immediately, while the impact of the deal with the movie theater (AMC & Regal) owned Open Road will be easier to impact once it actually has a few film releases under its belt.
