Movies Anywhere, a project which syncs movie purchases across platforms such as Google TV, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and others, is only as good as its support from studios. If a major studio doesn’t support the project, its films simply do not sync between those platforms.
TL;DR:
Movies Anywhere is getting a boost with the addition of Lionsgate titles including some popular franchises such as John Wick, The Hunger Games, Knives Out , and more.

However, the news was noteworthy because Gurman previously said that Apple had shifted its full focus to smart glasses and had no active plans for a Vision Pro successor.
