Viacom firm buys Film.com

NextMovie picks up Film.com.

MTV Networks site NextMovie has purchased Film.com, the firm disclosed the prior week.

MTV Networks is part of publicly traded Viacom.

This was not a domain name purchase; it was a full fledged web business. Film.com has a U.S. Quantcast rank of regarding 15,000.

Still, it’s always noteworthy to see web sites built on fantastic domains like this change hands.

I searched Viacom’s SEC filings and can’t find any information regarding the buyout. It was probably fairly modest for the $25 billion (market cap) firm. But we might get more information in the firm’s next quarterly note.

(Thanks to DNW reader Josh Sexton for bringing this buyout to my attention.)
