Showtime CEO Matt Blank Friday said the pay cable network won't be hurt by the pending loss of most of its film output deals.

"I've had seven or eight calls (from other movie studios)," he said. "We'll have no problem putting films on there."

Mr. Blank said he's taking his time finding new studios to do business with. "I'm not saying we won't announce another deal, but we're in no rush," he said.

Overall, Mr. Blank said Showtime would continue to focus on its booming business in original series.
