The major studios will not release any first run movies for streaming on personal devices. They are still ultra paranoid about content theft and redistribution. I used to work for an IFE company and the MPAA audits we had to go through were extremely rigid.

This is one of the major issues with Dougie wanting to remove the seatback IFE screens - content will suffer. Also in the current form (GoGo ATG), IFE does not work gate to gate and still requires the plane to have Internet connectivity, so forget about it on non-Continental US flights. This can be fixed, but will they?
