Netflix sues Relativity Media over alleged violation of exclusivity deal

Netflix Inc. filed a lawsuit against bankrupt studio Relativity Media LLC for allegedly violating an exclusivity agreement between the companies, Variety reported June 1.

In addition to failing to provide Netflix with the required number of movies for 2017, Relativity Media provided five movies to Amazon.com Inc. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s Starz, according to the report.

Netflix is seeking $12.6 million in damages for the exclusivity violations, in addition to $5 million for each film Relativity failed to deliver.
