Variety reports that AMC has already picked up Batman Begins. The deal also includes Constantine and Catwoman. Here are clips from the report:
AMC has engineered one of the biggest programming deals in its history, spending around $80 million for 22 theatrical movies from Warner Bros., including the upcoming “Batman Begins,” “Two Weeks Notice,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “The Last Samurai” and “Terminator 3.”
The $80 million license fee is a loose estimate, because the total deal, which could go north of $100 million, is based on a percentage of the domestic box office, and some of the titles on the deal have not yet reached theaters.
AMC has bought two-year license terms for the 22 Warners movies, getting the first plays on a number of titles, including “Two Weeks Notice,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “The Last Samurai,” “Ladder 49,” “T3,” “Insomnia,” “The In-Laws,” “Gothika” and “Catwoman.”
Among other movies in the deal are “Ocean’s Twelve,” “Raising Helen,” “Mystic River,” “Starsky & Hutch,” “Constantine,” “Troy,” “Murder by Numbers,” “Exorcist: The Beginning” and “Alexander.”
Meanwhile, many fans have sent in links to new Batman Begins skins for the Windows Media Player and the Winamp Player. You can find those cool new downloads here and here, respectively.
