iTunes to sell new films day-and-date


May 01, 2008 Apple is expected to announce Thursday that it has struck a deal with a wide array of major and mini studios to offer many new releases for purchase at its iTunes Store. The move would allow a broad slate of top-shelf films to be offered day-and-date with home video releases, which risks cannibalizing DVD sales. The deal does not include new titles from MGM but does extend to boutique firms such as Magnolia and Image Entertainment.
