Thomas Gewecke, president of Warner Brothers Digital Distribution (WBDD), Warner's distribution department, said: "Facebook is a place where hundreds of millions of people are heading everyday, so that we can see our movies on Facebook To do is natural as a result of the digital distribution strategy and users will be able to see our movies in an easy and convenient way on the world's largest social network. .

It is a good thing to have a lot of options to see movies conveniently, but is there a schedule for services to be offered in Japan? As a rental of one work is not a price that can say "cheap!", But recently it has delivered DVDs and BDs that rented a rental shop, and has convened a service that is OK with post posting when returning So, I simply want the merit that "Movie companies are going directly".
