Netflix users in the UK and Ireland, where the streaming movie service will launch in "early 2012," will be able to watch Lionsgate UK titles instantly on their TV sets, tablets, game consoles and smartphones, for a "low" monthly fee.

Available titles will include older movies such as Reservoir Dogs, Good Night and Good Luck and Blair Witch Project, as well as new hits such as the Expendables 2 and The Hunger Games.

Netflix's European expansion has been rumored for many months, and the company finally officially announced it will first be coming to UK and Ireland back in October. There, it will compete with movie rental service Lovefilm, acquired by Amazon in January 2011.
