The streaming wars continue to heat up as Bloomberg reports that Comcast's NBCUniversal is considering pulling its movies from Netflix and HBO Max and bringing all future film releases exclusively to its streaming service Peacock. It should come as no surprise that Comcast would be considering such a move, because while those services have to pay to license Universal Pictures movies, Peacock subscription numbers might take precedence.
As Bloomberg notes, HBO Max currently pays NBCUniversal for the rights to show Universal Pictures movies around nine months after the end of their theatrical runs. Netflix has a similar deal in place for animated films from film studio Illumination, which is behind The Secret Life of Pets, Despicable Me, and an upcoming Mario movie. The deals both expire at the end of 2021, which is why Comcast is weighing its options now.
