But I don't see subscription services like Netflix, Amazon Prime or Mubi competing directly or overlapping with Virgin Films. Nor Curzon which is PPV but has more niche titles.

I can see Curzon appearing on vm if it isn't there already?
This is available on BTtv too so wouldn't be surprised to see VM get this in the near future if it isn't already there.
I still stand by what i said though i think what i was told about Wuaki was a wind up not because vm would block it but because it may be seen as a conflict with the movie ppv service already on VM.
Netflix and Curzon don't offer the latest movies to rent (curzon does offer movies to rent but movies unheard off).
Wuaki and Amazon video do offer latest movies to rent this is why for now i see vm not wanting them due to a conflict of interest in the movie rental system vm already have in place.
EDIT:
Something i think we will see VM start to do possibly in the next 2 years is introduce a buy and keep option where you can purchase movies or shows and download them to your set top box or computer, i think this may be introduced shortly after the new Tivo is launched.
