Thousands of movies will be removed from Netflix in the US after the streaming service decided not to renew a deal with distributor Epix



Removed titles will include the Hunger Games and Transformers movies.

Netflix, which has more than 60 million subscribers worldwide, said it wanted to focus on exclusive content.

Rival US service Hulu will take on the Epix catalogue.

"Our subscribers have been asking us for more, and more recent, big movies," Hulu said.

Netflix's deal with Epix - which was worth a reported $1bn (£650m)
- runs up until the end of September 2015, at which point the films will disappear from the service.

Netflix's chief content officer wrote: "While many of these movies are popular, they are also widely available on cable and other subscription platforms at the same time as they are on Netflix and subject to the same drawn out licensing periods."
