Dendy Cinemas is proud to announce that the Dendy customer will soon be able to watch quality movies and TV shows at home or on the go with the launch of its video on demand service – Dendy Direct. Dendy Direct will be the first video on demand service offered by an independent cinema chain in Australia.

Dendy Direct will have movies to rent and own in addition to TV content available to purchase. The Dendy customer will be able to watch their content on a variety of devices: desktop/PC, tablet, mobile (iOS and Android) and through an exclusive application on Samsung Smart TVs.

Dendy Direct, our new video on demand service, will enable us to meet more of the Dendy customer’s entertainment needs, whether that be cinema or home entertainment content. With the addition of Dendy Direct, our brand proposition will encompass transactions across a broad spectrum of product types and lifecycles”.

Created in partnership with Massive Interactive, Dendy Direct will set the standard for quality video platforms in Australia.

This exciting new venture combines Dendy's detailed knowledge of cinema and movie-watchers with Massive's expertise in online video store end to end solutions and storefronts on multiple devices. Australians who love Dendy's quality brand proposition will soon be able to enjoy it in their own home on a device of their choice".
