LOS ANGELES (AP) - News Corp. cable channel FX Network says it has inked a deal to buy the basic cable television rights to more than a dozen movies released by Universal Pictures this year.
The deal is estimated to cost about $100 million and cover about 15 movies, but those figures may change depending upon how the films fare at the box office.
The package includes already-released films "Jarhead" and "Definitely, Maybe" and upcoming movies like the third installment in "The Mummy" series due this summer and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Universal, a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal, says the deal is the first time the studio sold such a large slate of films to a basic cable channel.
