Tubi is making a big move in Canada, adding more than 600 movies and TV shows from Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Discovery.
One title that should jump out to DC fans is Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, which is now available to stream free on Tubi in Canada.
That gives Tubi a solid hook with superhero fans, and it fits exactly with how the company is pitching the expansion.
David Salmon, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, International, said Tubi is focused on serving fandoms at scale and called the platform home to the largest library of movies and TV series in Canada, aimed especially at younger and multicultural viewers.
Tubi loads up on major studio titles
The new licensing haul stretches across multiple studios and genres.
Disney is bringing movies including Assassin’s Creed and Independence Day.
Lionsgate titles include American Hustle, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Django Unchained, The Expendables franchise, The Fighter, Good Will Hunting, the John Wick franchise, and Reservoir Dogs, along with series such as The Tudors and Rogue.
NBCUniversal is adding films including Jurassic World, Pacific Rim Uprising, Split, The Invisible Man, The Mummy, Trolls, Trolls World Tour, and Wanted, plus the drama series La Brea.
Sony’s additions include 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Air Force One, Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, The Equalizer, The Fifth Element, The Karate Kid franchise, Pineapple Express, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, This Is the End, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, along with TV series Outsiders and Counterpart.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s lineup includes Catwoman, The Bodyguard, Demolition Man, The Departed, Edge of Tomorrow, The Fugitive, Geostorm, Get Smart, Godzilla, Little Nicky, Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, Selena, Snakes on a Plane, and We’re the Millers, plus series including Gilligan’s Island and Maverick.
Tubi says free streaming is about fandom
Tubi says the Canada expansion is all about serving fandoms with a bigger free library. Sam Harowitz, SVP of Content Acquisition and Partnerships, said the company is working with studios to bring viewers more of the movies and series they already love.
Tubi also pointed to its new Canadian streaming report, which found deep catalogs help drive rediscovery, repeat viewing, and cross-generational watching. The company added that its Canadian monthly active users have grown 30% year over year since 2020, and it recently announced a strategic partnership with Bell Media.
For fans, the takeaway is simple. Tubi just made its free lineup in Canada a lot bigger, and Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is now part of it.
Deadline first reported on the Tubi expansion in Canada.
