Hulu to Exclusively Stream New Bleecker Street Movies Like ‘The Art of Self-Defense’ and More

Bleecker Street Movies

Though a lot of indie glory goes to studios like A24 and Annapurna Pictures, the indie distributor Bleecker Street has their fair share of gems: Beasts of No Nation, Captain Fantastic, Paterson, Logan Lucky and more. Now their movies will be much more accessible to audiences thanks to an multi-year exclusive streaming deal they’ve just finalized with Hulu for their upcoming theatrical releases. Find out some of the Bleecker Street movies included in the Hulu deal below.

The Hollywood Reporter has word on the deal Hulu landed to exclusively stream Bleecker Street movies for the next few years. This comes after the distributor previously had a licensing agreement with Amazon that began in 2014. So while we don’t know exactly how long this new agreement will last, we can assume it will be roughly four years.

The deal will include some of Bleecker Street’s early 2019 releases, including the thriller Hotel Mumbai starring Armie Hammer and Dev Patel, as well as music industry drama Teen Spirit with Elle Fanning. Otherwise, other films include the recently released dark comedy The Art of Self -Defense starring Jesse Eisenberg, and this weekend’s release of Brian Banks, a courtroom drama based on a true story about a man wrongfully convicted of rape, putting his future in the NFL on the line.

As for other Bleecker Street movies, we’re not sure if those will remain at Amazon or if they’ll end up shifting to Bleecker Street once this new deal takes effect. Either way, Bleecker Street CEO Andrew Karpen is happy to have a new home for all the distributors upcoming movies:

“As we continue to expand our slate of films, we are always searching for the best partners to reach the broadest audience. We know Hulu subscribers will find something distinct and enlightening about each of our titles.”

With streaming becoming a more popular entertainment option when compared to the theatrical experience, many more low-key movies are finding their audience once they hit streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and more. Hulu will ensure that Bleecker Street movies get in front of a lot more eyes. And if all goes well, maybe those people will venture out to movie theaters to see more stories from Bleecker Street. That might be easier said than done, but getting a few more butts into theaters for movies that aren’t blockbusters would be a small victory worth celebrating.

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
