Sony Pictures Television International and Warner Bros. have signed up as launch partners for U.K. supermarket chain Tesco's plan to offer digital downloads of film and TV content to consumers.
The mega-chain, which recently boasted that one in every four pounds spent in the U.K. was spent at Tesco, will provide download service to millions of consumers.
Titles on offer from Spti include "Spider-Man 3," "Open Season" and "Superbad," while Warners will offer movies and TV series including "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" a day after they air on TV, Tesco said.
