Amazon.com Inc., ratcheting up competition with Netflix Inc., reached a deal with pay-television channel Epix to offer films such as “The Hunger Games” on the Amazon Prime Instant Video service.
The multiyear agreement increases the number of titles available on the Prime subscription service to 25,000 and marks a doubling since Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire media tablet a year ago, the Seattle-based company said today in a statement. Netflix shares fell the most in six weeks.
