Tubi TV has acquired over 40 new titles in an exclusive content deal with Drafthouse Films and Giant Pictures. The free streaming service will make these movies available from June 2021.

The collaboration, confirmed earlier in May, is the first time that Drafthouse Films has allowed so many of its projects to be streamed on a single platform. Tubi TV is expected to stream movies like 20,000 Days on Earth, A Band Called Death, Borgman, Cheap Thrills, The Congress, The Dog, A Field In England, Graceland, I Declare War, Klown, Wake In Fright, Why Don’t You Play In Hell? and Wrong. With this deal Tubi TV, owned by Fox Corporations, is expanding its list of 30,000 titles that are already available on the platform.

Tubi chief content officer Adam Lewinson elaborated on the deal in a statement. “Alamo Drafthouse has an undeniable reputation of giving cinephiles across the country a one-of-a-kind experience and we can’t wait for our movie going audiences to explore these premium indie titles. As the exclusive home to this eclectic slate of films, we’re proud to support Alamo Drafthouse and the independent filmmaking community,” he said.

The streaming service is also expected to launch over 140 hours of original content on the platform this fall. These Tubi Originals will consist of feature-length documentaries from Fox, independent films and more.

The deal between Tubi Drafthouse Films and Giant Pictures is the first step in the expansion of Tubi to compete against streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video all over the globe.
