Sony to Offer Movies on AT&T Cellphones

Sony Pictures Television LogoSony Pictures Television said it will become the first Hollywood studio to launch a movie network on cellphones in the U.S.

The company has signed deals with AT&T and MediaFLO to start offering movies from several labels as early as May.

The channel, called PIX, will contain full-length movies that have been already broadcasted on TV, theatres or DVDs such as “Karate Kid,” “Ghostbusters” or “Resident Evil.”

The service will be ad-supported and not be available on demand although Sony could eventually convert PIX to an on demand model or take it online.

AT&T has not yet disclosed a price for the new mobile TV package.
