Open Road’s inaugural slate so far includes Omnilab Media’s Jason Statham-Clive Owen thriller Killer Elite and 2012 release The Host.

The deal means Open Road films will stream in the pay-TV window after their DVD release.

“Netflix provides us the opportunity to bring Open Road Films titles to consumers in the most innovative ways possible, and this partnership is an important part of our new model for theatrical distribution,” Open Road CEO Tom Ortenberg said.

“Netflix is happy to be in business with Tom Ortenberg and the rest of the team at Open Road Films,” Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos added. “With their keen eye for commercial content and a savvy business plan, we are confident that Open Road will bring Netflix members a diverse array of successful and high-quality films.”
