"Amazon will acquire MGM for $8.45 billion. MGM's library catalog features over 4k movies and 17k TV shows, including: James Bond, Rocky/Creed, Legally Blonde, The Hobbit, The Wizard of Oz, Robocop, Tomb Raider, Silence of the Lambs, The Handmaid's Tale, Fargo, Vikings, + more." -

MGM is one of Hollywood's most famous studios, having produced classic films such as Some Like It Hot and Singin' In The Rain. The sale will give the tech giant's Prime streaming service access to a huge back catalogue of content.

Mike Hopkins, senior vice president of Prime Video and Amazon Studios, added: "The real financial value behind this deal is the treasure trove of Intellectual Property in the deep catalogue that we plan to re-imagine and develop together with MGM's talented team."

The deal will boost Amazon Prime Video's offering with about 4000 films, including the James Bond franchise and Legally Blonde, as well as 17,000 television shows such as the Handmaid's Tale TV series.

MGM Holdings, the parent company of MGM Studios, had reportedly been exploring a sale since 2020. Amazon said in a statement that the deal would allow MGM, founded in 1924 and recognised by its roaring Leo the Lion logo, "to continue to do what they do best: great storytelling." - link

If true, I hope you have your old VHS tapes and DVDs handy.

The last Robocop movie I saw suggested a plausible globohomo future. Now Robocop will be a troon PoC hunting out down the 'Far Right' and other dissenters.

Wow, this dystopia really sucks.

Jeff needed new shows, Jeremy clarkson can only single handily keep amazon prime going for so long.

Louis B. Mayer is looking up from Jew Heaven and smiling that an even nastier, greedier son of a bitch than him is running MGM now.

 

[Frank D'arbo]

keep in mind, Amazon only owns MGM's titles post May 1986. Everything made before that is owned by Warner Bros due to the Ted Turner merger in the late 80s and the Warner/Turner merger in the mid 90s

A tech company buying up everything sounds like the plot of a James Bond movie, Jeff Bezos has that "Bond villain" vibe.

"No Mr Bond, I expect you to pay for shipping"

Im going to need to start watching TV again just so I can find the names of some old westerns and poorly dubbed kung fu films, it is only a matter of time until they get hit.

I'd pay good money to see Jeff cast himself as a James bond villan

 

[Menotaur]

I'm surprised Jeff hasn't bought everything yet. I assume he had.

 

[Forever Sunrise]

It's true.

Thank you. Sorry if I came across as a skeptic; I was just annoyed that there wasn't a source included.

As a massive Stargate fan it's going to be sad when amazon reboots and ruins it. MGM being run by a bunch of retards meant it was safe as they had no idea why people liked it and gave up when their last push flopped. Amazon will drive it into the grave and shit on it.

Oh, just give him time.

Streaming services are slowly getting deleted or disliked by Americans who are getting tired of the “woke” agendas put forth on the silver screen. We’ll have to see how much Amazon will try to pull until it’s all just a waste of time.
