Cable's Movies On Demand platform will unwrap some of the year's best and brightest theatricals in December.
Almost every major studio premiere on the schedule comes to cable the same day as its DVD release and many before Netflix and Redbox. On the indie side of the aisle, viewers can partake of true premieres from the comfort of their own homes, with a number of titles coming to MOD before or the same day as their theatrical start.
The industry's website, www.rentmoviesondemand.com has the most current info for movie fans, plus the "List It!" app on http://www.facebook.com/moviesondemand to share with friends.
