LOS ANGELES — Netflix and the Weinstein Company have reached an agreement under which Netflix will become the exclusive subscription television outlet for Weinstein movies starting in 2016.

Netflix already shows foreign films and some others from Weinstein under an earlier deal between the companies.

Weinstein, an independent studio, is known for a broad mix of movies that often includes contenders in the annual film awards. Its current films include “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” and “Fruitvale Station,” though the Netflix deal would include only releases beginning in 2016, the companies said.

Under the agreement, announced on Tuesday, the films are expected to become available after their theater runs and after their releases via other home entertainment media, like DVDs.
