New Acquisitions - July 2014

One of the interesting narratives in the film industry this year has been the dearth of heavy-hitting blockbusters. So far, the two highest-grossing movies of the year were released before the summer, and the biggest long-term success has come from 2013's Frozen. Even with apes, Godzilla, and Transformers wreaking havoc in multiplexes, fewer people are opting to head to theaters this year. And perhaps not coincidentally, Netflix recently hit 50 million subscribers.

If you're one of those types that stays at home to watch movies, you'll no doubt be excited about our most recent acquisitions. Big-name titles this time around include the first season of Netflix sensation Orange is the New Black, Mary Poppins origin story Saving Mr. Banks, sci-fi action sleeper hit Attack the Block, Despicable Me 2, and weirdo late-night curiosity Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule. And fans of John Waters might be excited by I Am Divine, a biography about the director's drag queen muse.

Hit the jump for a full list of our July acquisitions, and stay tuned for the other 100+ items in our pipeline...
