Roadside Attractions has entered into a multi-year output deal with Hulu for the post-theatrical pay 1 window.
Under the terms of the deal, Hulu will receive exclusive US streaming rights to upcoming Roadside Attractions films such as Phyllis Nagy’s abortion drama Call Jane (pictured) starring Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver.
The roster includes Gigi & Nate which stars Charlie Rowe, Marcia Gay Harden, and Jim Belushi and tells the story of Nate Gibson, a young disabled man who regains hope through a relationship with his service animal, a capuchin monkey named Gigi.
Commenting on the announcement, Roadside co-presidents Eric d’Arbeloff and Howard Cohen said, “Our new relationship with Hulu is a win for everyone – but especially the talented producers whose films we acquire for distribution. It means we at Roadside can focus on maximizing our films in theaters with the confidence they will find a corresponding home on Hulu’s premium streaming platform, which delivers the industry’s highest caliber and most entertaining independent cinema.”
“Delivering great storytelling is a core objective shared by Hulu and Roadside Attractions,” said Hulu president Joe Earley. “We are fortunate that their highly anticipated new titles will be available to our viewers as a part of our industry-leading independent film slate.”
Alongside Roadside’s Cohen and Angel An, the deal with Hulu was negotiated by Lionsgate’s Ryan Lowerre and Dillon Siler. Lionsgate owns a minority stake in Roadside and distributes its films in US home entertainment.
