Soon after Netflix announced that it wouldn’t renew its deal with Epix, Hulu and Epix said they had notched a multi-year digital subscription VOD pact that will stream in new releases from Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount starting October 1.

Hulu and Epix said all new theatrical releases and original programming will be available during its digital streaming window, which begins 90 days after the start of the traditional pay television window.

Epix and Hulu said the deal will provide Hulu with access in the coming months EPIX titles such as Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, Interstellar, Selma, Top Five and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. At launch, EPIX titles offered via Hulu will include Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek: Into Darkness, World War Z, Wolf of Wall Street, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Robocop, God’s Not Dead.

All movies on Hulu are streamed without any commercial breaks, and Epix content will also stream uncut and commercial-free for Hulu subscribers, a Hulu official confirmed. As a premium network, all Epix content is delivered uncut, unedited and commercial free, an Epix official noted.

It's a big get for Hulu, especially aligning with Epix and Showtime, which also has a lot of its movie content streaming on Netflix as well. It probably may not hurt Netflix in the long run, because they've put more of an emphasis on their original content, including branching out to produce its own original movies. I believe once this deal is done, the only major studios left are Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony (which also has some content on Hulu, and has their own streaming service in Crackle).
