MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF movieSPREE, A NEW ON-DEMAND STREAMING SERVICE OFFERING VALUE-PRICED MOVIE BUNDLES, TV SERIES, AND PREMIUM ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS

New Customers Can Build A Vast Digital Library With 100 FREE Movie Offer!

Emerging from the over-saturated subscription-based streaming marketplace, leading independent home entertainment distributor, Mill Creek Entertainment, is pleased to announce the launch of transaction-based streaming service movieSPREE. This new streaming alternative gives movie buffs and cord-cutters an exciting new destination to build a digital library. With apps now available on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Android devices, movieSPREE is available without long-term contracts, subscription fees or advertisements.

movieSPREE has a robust assortment of bingeworthy film and TV bundles, genre-based collections and specially curated compilations including Lonesome Dove, The 10th Kingdom, The Kids in the Hall, Documentary Now!, Benji, Gone in 60 Seconds and over 2500 hours of entertainment. movieSPREE offers a whole new way to build a digital content library where all users will receive an offer to redeem 100 free movies which will be added to their library.

“The establishment of movieSPREE is an important growth opportunity for us,” states Patrick McDonough, EVP of Sales & Marketing for Mill Creek Entertainment. “As the content distribution model shifts to a direct-to-consumer strategy, building our own streaming service allows us to connect to our customers and showcase our entertainment offerings in a meaningful and targeted way.”

Many of Mill Creek Entertainment’s DVD and Blu-ray releases include digital redemption offers which will allow end users to add to their movieSPREE library. Content can be streamed from the movieSPREE apps and website using your phone, tablet, laptop or supported OTT devices. movieSPREE also features exclusive content and offers that do not have a DVD or Blu-ray counterpart or availability on other streaming platforms.

movieSPREE has collaborated with leading OTT content distribution provider ViewLift to create a cohesive customer experience across web, mobile, and connected devices. “The ViewLift team is thrilled to partner with Mill Creek Entertainment to launch movieSPREE,” states ViewLift President Manik Bambha. “Our alliance showcases the robust features and functionality of a backend system developed by the ViewLift team. ViewLift’s monetization and distribution expertise launched movieSPREE, which will help cinephiles watch movies they love and introduce new viewers to great films.”  ViewLift’s end-to-end distribution and monetization platform provides a comprehensive solution that allows real-time publishing across all movieSPREE apps and sites.

Mill Creek Entertainment has established itself as the leading independent home entertainment studio in North America. From special edition Complete TV Series releases including The Shield, Married…With Children, and Roseanne, to special edition SteelBook® release of Mothra and an entire lineup of Retro VHS-style movies on Blu-ray, Mill Creek’s extensive catalog contains both mainstream and cult entertainment offerings that have exceeded performance expectations at retail despite the declining packaged media industry reports.
