If you’ve bought Lionsgate movies or redeemed codes for them, we’ve got some good news for you: Its vast library is being added to the digital movie locker, Movies Anywhere. That means Lionsgate titles will now sync across any participating digital retailers you’ve linked to your Movies Anywhere account.
Lionsgate says that a selection of Lionsgate movies will be eligible on Movies Anywhere beginning in June, with 225 of the studio’s most high-profile films made be available on the service, which is also a retailer. Going forward, around 100 additional films will be added monthly throughout 2026 and early 2027. According to Deadline, Movies Anywhere has 14.5 million users and its library will expand to nearly 10,000 digital movies with the addition of Lionsgate.

I’m already seeing Lionsgate titles like John Wick, Knives Out, La La Land, Rambo and The Hunger Games listed with the Movies Anywhere badge at Fandango at Home, but none have turned up in the Movies Anywhere catalog just yet. Participating Movies Anywhere digital retailers include Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Google Play/YouTube, Xfinity, Verizon Fios TV and DirectTV.
For those who purchase digital movies or redeem codes for digital versions of titles from physical media, the Lionsgate move to Movies Anywhere is a big deal (Movies Anywhere is owned by The Walt Disney Company, and Disney initially developed a rights synchronization platform called KeyChest back in 2009).

I and plenty of other consumers find it annoying to buy a movie at one digital retailer, such as Fandango at Home, but not have it available for viewing on another platform I use, such as Apple TV or Google Play. Ideally, if you buy a title, you should be able to store it in one central digital locker and have universal access to it. (Technically, when you buy a digital movie, you’re buying a license to stream it as many times as you want, though you don’t truly own the title).
Prior to this announcement, Movies Anywhere supported most though not all movies from The Walt Disney Studios (including Disney, Pixar, Twentieth Century Studios, Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm), Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures (including DreamWorks and Illumination Entertainment) and Warner Bros. Entertainment. No new major studios have been added since 2017.
There was some hope that when Amazon bought MGM in 2022, MGM would join Movies Anywhere because Prime Video was a participating retailer. That hasn’t happened yet, but hopefully the Lionsgate addition will encourage the remaining hold outs, which also include Paramount, A24 and Criterion to join.
Currently, only movies, not TV shows are on the Movies Anywhere platform — there is no TV Anywhere. So any TV series you purchase are not Movies Anywhere eligible and won’t sync across retailers.
