Youku Tudou, one of China’s leading online media companies announced on Tuesday that they would be partnering with Paramount Pictures to add over 100 movie titles to their subscription streaming service, including Star Trek, Mission: Impossible and Forrest Gump. Last week Tencent sealed a deal with Walt Disney to become the exclusive online distributor of the six existing Star Wars movies in China. Sohu, one of Youku Tudou’s largest competitor in the online streaming space, inked a deal with Netflix in 2014 to distribute the highly popular House of Cards series in China. “The consumer-driven demand for premium online services in China is growing rapidly,” said Youku Tudou Chairman and CEO Victor Koo. The newest additions from Paramount will bring Youku’s online movie library to over 4,000 domestic and foreign titles, according to the company.
