, with the streaming service revealing at its NewFronts pitch earlier this month that two-thirds of its 22 million subscribers have watched a new film release.

“Peacock is bringing films to the platform like never before,” Sellers said, noting a slate of straight-to-streaming fare including a project fromproducer Will Packer and a LeBron James documentary. The service is beaming “theatrical-quality titles to audiences directly in their living rooms, or wherever they want to watch,” Sellers added.Universal Filmed Entertainment Group
