Fandango Acquires Disney’s Movies.com
Posted: June 23, 2008
Comcast-owned entertainment service Fandango has bought Movies.com from Disney. The acquisition gives the sites a combined estimated 9 million monthly visitors, according to Nielsen NetRatings.
Fandango offers ticket purchases from 15,000 theaters across the U.S., while Movies.com focuses more on content: reviews, DVD release information, etc. Fandango has already expanded its ticket sale service to Movies.com as of today.
Disney says no layoffs will result from the sale. The exact terms of the deal, however, are not being released.
