    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “We will still have the same great films, shows, deals, and bundles, plus your library will stay right where it’s always been,” the company said in a post on X (via 9to5Google).

    Fandango shut down its previous FandangoNOW service when it scooped up Vudu, so perhaps it’s not a surprise that the company ultimately wanted its own name back in there.

    Vudu has been a go-to for home theater enthusiasts over the years for several reasons.

    Years ago, the company’s streaming bit rate and video fidelity was a step above most competitors.

    And under Walmart’s stewardship, Vudu also launched unique programs like disc-to-digital, which allowed consumers to pay low prices to add movies to their digital locker — many of which would then be compatible with Movies Anywhere.

    This initially required going into a Walmart store, but eventually Vudu streamlined the process to where you only needed a smartphone.
