Vudu, a subsidiary of retailer Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), said it will continue to operate as an independent platform even after the acquisition, and its movie and television show library won't see any immediate change.

The two companies didn't disclose the terms of the deal, including the valuation at which Vudu was purchased.

The movie ticketing company Fandango also runs a streaming platform similar to Vudu called FandangoNow. According to Vudu, "there will be no immediate changes to either service."

The acquisition comes at a time when the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the demand for at-home entertainment services.
