Last July 7, HOOQ, an online video streaming service that holds a lot of video content hours, announced today of new additions to its fast-growing content library.
In March, HOOQ opened its doors commercially through its telecom partner Globe, with an already extensive collection of movies and TV shows from Warner Bros. Television and Sony Pictures Entertainment, as well as local studios ABS-CBN, Regal Entertainment, Viva Communications and GMA. Just recently, HOOQ inked deals with Disney, DreamWorks Classic Media, and Miramax, providing HOOQ subscribers first access to additional premium movie content such as "Thor," "Captain America: The First Avenger," "The English Patient,” and "Chocolat." This July, TV series fans will enjoy streaming or downloading highly acclaimed Hollywood TV series including "Mad Men," "Scandal," "Nashville," "Manhattan," and "Rosemary's Baby." Furthermore, indie film followers will be able to watch award winning films such as “Metro Manila" from another new content partner, Captive Media.
On the local front, HOOQ subscribers will also enjoy new Pinoy content from recently signed-on content partner, Ouantum Films Inc., including "English Only, Please," an independent film that garnered a multitude of awards in the 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival. Moreover, popular local titles such as “Trophy Wife," "One More Chance," "It Might Be You," and “Moron 5.2" will also be made available in July to thousands of HOOQ.
"We want to give our subscribers the best entertainment experience possible, so we are continuously expanding our media library to cater to the different tastes and interests of Filipinos. At 30,000 hours of content, we are 2.5x bigger than our nearest competitor," said Jane Cruz-Walker, HOOQ Country Manager for the Philippines.
The announcement was made at a special viewing party hosted by HOOQ for the 21” anniversary celebration of Dennis Valdes and wife Tessa Prieto-Valdes. Tagged as #DandTLoveROOO, the event captures the couple's 21 years of love through 21 movies that have been a part of their story. All these movies and more are on HOOQ.
