YouTube announced a new licensing agreement with Paramount Pictures today that will bring 500 new rentable movie titles to its video-sharing platform and Google Play.
“With the addition of Paramount, we now have five of the six major studios and over ten independent movie studios offering nearly 9,000 movies for rent to millions of people around the world,” announced Director of Content Partnerships at YouTube Malik Ducard on the official YouTube blog.
The United States and Canada will have access to the new catalog over the next few weeks. A sampling of Paramount Pictures’ featured movies through Google include “Hugo” for $3.99, “Transformers” for $2.99, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” for $2.99, and “The Godfather” for $2.99.
Renting either title allots a 48-hour pass to viewers, or they can also upgrade to HD for just $1 more. Viewers have 30 days to begin watching their rented movie upon purchase.
Google plans to continue adding new titles and expanding its service to more countries later this year. A complete list of currently available movies is available at YouTube or Google Play.
