FilmStruck—the film streaming service that centered on traditional, international, and arthouse movies—is shutting down on November 29. In an announcement to Variety, Turner and WB Digital Networks commented, “We’re incredibly proud of the creativity and innovations produced by the talented and dedicated teams who worked on FilmStruck over the past two years. While FilmStruck has a very loyal fanbase, it remains largely a niche service.”
A publication from the Criterion Collection, whose catalog has been completely accessible to stream by way of FilmStruck, reads, “We’re proud of the work we’ve done, bringing curated programming and the full range of supplemental features to the streaming space, championing a diverse array of filmmakers from beyond our collection and creating original content that invites you into exciting conversations about cinema culture…. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed FilmStruck, and we hope you’ll join us as we look forward to what the future brings.”
