Simultaneous Danish cinema and VOD release for Phoenix movie

Danish cable operator YouSee is to make the Joaquin Phoenix movie I’m Still Here available on its video-on-demand service from November 11, the same date the movie premieres in Danish cinemas.

Peter Sølvsten Thomsen, distribution manager at Angel Films, I’m Still Here’s Danish distributor, said that the simultaneous release of the film in cinemas and VOD could help reduce piracy. The film will be available on YouSee Plus and parent company TDC’s HomeTrio IPTV service for DKK99 (€13.30) for 24 hours, somewhat higher than the normal VOD rental price of between DKK39-49.
