Paramount has signed a deal with Google to license the rights to 500 of the studio’s films.
The rental service will be available immediately, though some titles will be added over the next few months. The deal swells Google’s movie rental library to nearly 9,000 films.
“Paramount Pictures is one of the biggest movies studios on the planet. We’re thrilled to bring nearly 500 of their films to movie fans in the US and Canada on YouTube and Google Play,” said Malik Ducard, director of content partnerships at YouTube, in a statement.
Google already has inked similar pacts with Disney, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros. and more than 10 independent film companies.
