Amazon bought MGM for $ 8.45 billion

Thus, in the hands of Amazon Studios was a huge catalog of MGM franchises, which includes various classic films (Rocky, Pink Panther) and well-known series – in number exceeding 5 thousand items. In addition, we are talking about 17 thousand hours of various television projects.

One of the most popular new home franchises has become “James Bond”, the premiere of the anniversary film is scheduled for September this year. This will be the last picture with Daniel Craig as agent 007.

At the same time, the rights to the series are divided between MGM and Eon Productions, whose representatives have a lot of control over the stories about the hero. Therefore, it is not a fact that the upcoming spy movies will appear on Amazon’s streaming service without problems, although the chances of this have increased many times over.

Previously, a similar deal was considered Apple and other representatives of the market, but they did not agree on the price.
