The Avengers and The Hunger Games will be streaming on Netflix early next year. EPIX originally acquired the rights to these flicks. But thanks to a deal Netflix cut with EPIX back in 2010, two of the biggest movie releases so far this year will be available on both services. According to the agreement, The Avengers and The Hunger Games will show up on Netflix 90 days after they premier on EPIX. These movies will also be available for streaming through EpixHD.com. The LA Times said that “Netflix is expected to pay Epix close to $1 billion in licensing fees over the life of the deal.”
