So, whatever happened to Lions Gate (LGF)? The company whose executives "leaked" weeks ago that it had a distribution deal to be part of iTunes' movie sales was not on the meager list of suppliers announced this week by Apple (AAPL). What happened?
Lions Gate and other independents should be racing to Cupertino to get slotted. After all, Netflix (NFLX) will tell you most of their business is in "long tail" titles, and the makers of those films should be eager for, and fast to act, to take advantage of additional distribution. Frankly, I'm a little surprised the indies aren't already in Amazon's (AMZN) Unbox service.
