Netflix (NFLX) is tumbling after Amazon.com (AMZN) announced that it had signed a deal to add thousands of EPIX movies to its Amazon Prime streaming service. Under the deal, Amazon - which competes with Netflix - will enable Prime users to access movies from Viacom's (VIA) Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, and Lionsgate (LGF), Amazon announced.
