forget going to the movies because you may soon be watching the latest box-office hits from the comfort of your own couch while they're still in theaters according to a Bloomberg report Apple is currently in negotiations with Hollywood's big hitters like 21st Century Fox Warner Brothers and universal pictures to make movies available to stream within weeks of their theatrical release studios have been hesitant to release movies in these platforms while they're still in theaters for fear of bootlegging which could seriously hurt sales but if they're able to work out a deal with Apple this could mean a major win for the Cupertino company and a needed boost for iTunes sales they'd have a huge head start on the competition including services like on demand cable amazon video or HBO which can take anywhere from three to eight months to make new movies available to stream the cost for early access between 25 and fifty dollars according to Bloomberg's report that's about five times the cost of a new release rental on itunes now considering you currently only get 24 hours of stream this is a pretty hefty price tag but don't give up your movie theater tickets quite yet Apple has declined to comment on the Bloomberg report and has yet to negotiate a similar deal for access to TV and movie content for Apple TV which it's been working on for months so this could still be a long wait and for more of the latest tech news check out cnet com from San Francisco I'm Vanessa and Ariana
