Kodak has signed a new agreement with 20th Century Fox to supply motion picture film to its movie and television studios.

With the signing of this agreement, Kodak has now completed new contracts with six major Hollywood studios in the last year. The company previously announced agreements with Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal, Paramount Pictures, and Sony Pictures.

Kodak manufactures billions of linear feet of film every year, and the Entertainment Imaging division continues to be the largest driver of film manufacturing volume for Kodak into the future, says the company.
