With all the anticipated income from this move, the pair hope to work together to make original films for the streaming service.
Whether it’s on-screen or behind the curtains, there’s nothing the modern entertainment industry loves more than a good ol’ fashioned team-up. Luckily for us, the one Universal and sister streaming service Peacock just formed is pretty damn powerful, and great for those of us still hesitant to visit theaters. Earlier today, Universal Film Entertainment Group stated all their upcoming feature films will hit Peacock no later than four months after their theatrical release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this decision was made in an effort to “grow the streamer’s subscriber base” and accelerate “what’s traditionally referred to as the pay-one home entertainment window, which — in pre-pandemic times — didn’t kick in for six to seven months.” With all the extra income Universal and Peacock are anticipating from this move, the pair hope to work together to make original films for the streaming service.
