http://www.internetnews.com/ec-news/article.php/4_894361 CinemaNow did not reveal its terms with Microsoft, third-party tech providers, or even price points it would offer licensees, but one thing that is known is that some research firms think highly of VoD as a money-making service. Boston's Yankee Group said VoD will generate revenues of more than $65 million by year-end 2001, and will reach $1.98 billion by year-end 2005.
CinemaNow, majority-owned by Lion's Gate Entertainment, currently streams more than 250 feature-length films using Windows Media Player on pay-per-view, subscription and ad-supported bases. It also has access to more than 1,000 films from the Lions Gate, Trimark Pictures, Avalanche, Allied Artists, Tai Seng and Salvation film libraries for VoD distribution.
