LG Phones to Appear in Hollywood Blockbuster

The The Korea Times reports that SK Telecom said it is bringing more than 200 Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Spiderman 3'' and "The DaVinci Code,'' to its mobile phones under a contract with Sony Pictures Entertainment.

"The largest mobile service company, with some 22 million subscribers, said Monday that it inked a four-year deal with Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) to provide between 50 and 60 old and new movie titles every year for mobile phones.

... "We have already been offering several Korean movies on mobile phones, but this contract is different because of the brand value of Hollywood films,'' he said. He added that it is a comprehensive contract and SK Telecom will not pay additional commission to Sony Pictures."
