Beijing – Youku Tudou Inc., an Internet television company in China, has signed an agreement with Sony Pictures Television (SPT) to bring more than 300 new and classic Sony Pictures titles to the Youku Premium platform. The five-year SPT deal comes on the heels of previous Youku Tudou agreements with each of WB, DreamWorks, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, NBC Universal, and Lionsgate, rounding out the company’s offerings to include licensed content from all major Hollywood studios.
The SPT titles will become available for paid on-demand over the duration of the agreement, including classic titles like Groundhog Day, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Sense and Sensibility, as well as critically acclaimed titles such as The Fisher King and Across the Universe. SPT will also make newer films available, including Men in Black 3, The Amazing Spider-Man and 21 Jump Street.

Subscriber growth for Youku Premium has exceeded our expectations, and we see it as a sign that Chinese audiences are willing and eager to pay for quality content,” says Huilong Zhu, Youku Tudou’s vice president of movie operations and corporate development.
