Lionsgate has officially joined the Movies Anywhere platform, according to a recent report. This decision integrates the studio's content into the digital locker service, marking a significant shift in the availability of its titles on the platform. The move brings Lionsgate into a collaborative ecosystem designed to unify movie libraries across different digital storefronts.
The inclusion of Lionsgate highlights the specific absences that remain within the platform's catalog. As noted in the report, Paramount Pictures and MGM are identified as the last major holdouts among major film studios. Despite Lionsgate's entry into the fold, these two significant studios, along with some independent labels, are still not part of Movies Anywhere. This lack of participation means that movies released by these specific entities are currently excluded from the cross-platform syncing capabilities offered by the service.
The primary function provided by Movies Anywhere, which Lionsgate now utilizes, is the capability for movies to sync across various digital retailers. This feature allows users who purchase a Lionsgate film to have that content available across multiple digital storefronts rather than being restricted to a single purchase location. By joining the Movies Anywhere fold, Lionsgate ensures its titles are compatible with this syncing technology, distinguishing its content from that of Paramount, MGM, and independent labels that have not yet joined the platform.
