If you have Lionsgate digital codes gathering dust. You want them to work everywhere.
They will. Starting this June.
The studio is joining the Movies Anywhere platform. A central locker for your film collection. No more hunting across three different apps just to watch John Wick or Knives Out. The rights finally sync.
Here is the rollout.
– 225 major films drop first. The heavy hitters. La La Land. Rambo. The Hunger Games.
– About 100 new titles follow each month. Through 2026. Into 2027.
The library is massive. Nearly 10,000 movies once the integration hits. Serving 14.5 million of us.
I see the badges at Fandango at Home. But the catalog is still dark. For now. Once it turns on, your purchases at Apple TV. Google Play. Amazon. They all link up.
It is owned by Disney. Originally a 2009 experiment called KeyChest. They fixed it. Then stopped inviting friends.
Think about it. You buy a license. Not a poster. Just the right to stream it. So why does buying from one retailer lock you out of your preferred app? It makes no sense. Does it.
Before today? Disney. Sony. Universal. Warner Bros. They were in. Paramount stayed out. MGM stayed out.
We thought Amazon’s purchase of MGM would fix things. Prime Video was already in. It did not. Maybe it will now. The door is open. Paramount might follow. A24 and Criterion could too. Though that is just hope.
One catch though. Movies only. Not TV shows.
That silence. It stays. No TV Anywhere. Your series collection remains fractured. Just for now.
