Apple premieres movies on the iTunes Store in Australia, New

Apple today announced that movies from major film studios including
20th Century Fox, The Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner
Bros. Entertainment, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM), Sony
Pictures Television International and Lionsgate are now available on
the iTunes Store in Australia (www.itunes.com/au) and in New Zealand
(www.itunes.com/nz).

Movie purchases and rentals feature iTunes' legendary ease of use,
which makes discovering and enjoying movies as simple and easy as
buying music on iTunes has always been. The iTunes Store in Australia
and New Zealand feature over 700 films for rent or purchase, with new
release titles available for purchase on the same day as their DVD
release, including favorites such as "National Treasure 2," "Jumper,"
"27 Dresses," "Cloverfield," "Vantage Point" and "Pirates of the
Caribbean: At World's End."

"Movie fans in Australia and New Zealand can choose from a great
selection of over 700 films for purchase and rent on the iTunes
Store," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of Internet Services.
"iTunes provides an incredibly easy and fun way for people to
discover and enjoy movies, and has quickly become the world's most
popular online movie store with customers renting and purchasing over
50,000 movies everyday."

With iTunes Movie Rentals, once a movie is rented, it starts
downloading from the iTunes Store directly to iTunes or Apple TV, and
users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in
seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching it, and once
a movie has been started customers have 48 hours to finish it--or
watch it multiple times. iTunes Movie Rentals also feature over 100
titles available in stunning high definition, perfect for viewing on
a widescreen TV with Apple TV.
