Amazon Agrees to Buy MGM Film Studio for $8.45 Billion
Amazon.com Inc. agreed to buy the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie company for $8.45 billion, a bet that a nearly century-old Hollywood icon can feed an insatiable demand for streaming content.

The proliferation of streaming services, including newer arrivals such as HBO Max and Disney+, has put pressure on Amazon to acquire more programming. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos has made no secret of his desire for movie moguldom, and MGM’s vast backlog provides an abundance of streaming material, not to mention an opportunity to mine the iconic James Bond and Rocky franchises for new films and television shows.

Moreover, with retail rivals like Walmart Inc. rolling out more sophisticated online stores, Amazon must work even harder to keep its 200 million Prime subscribers loyal.

and it also means bezos and corp. america gets richer and more powerful while the rest of up get poorer,,

I remember the days when dems were against all this type of wealth and power,

oh how times change,,
 
He overpaid, by some estimates by 40%. No one else would come close to that price. He also doesn't have rights to 50% of the Bond movies (I think the Connery/Moore ones are not his)

But as a Prime user, I'm glad, nevertheless.

But even 007 has an asterisk. Amazon will own only 50 percent of Bond. The balance is held by Barbara Broccoli and her brother, Michael G. Wilson. The siblings also have ironclad creative control, deciding when to make a new Bond film, who should play the title role and whether remakes and television spinoffs get made. (They have blocked such efforts in the past.)

Who is rooting for corporate dominance? My comment on content consolidation wasn’t in support of it. Fewer content distributors makes competition drop.
 
I just hope they let home video labels do some 4k uhd restorations of their movies.

Streaming on prime is fine and all but they have quite a few titles I want restorations of on disc.
 
Doesn’t matter. I don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime,order anything from their crappy company and I haven’t been to a movie in over a year. Big whoop.

This shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Amazon owns way too much in America.

This is what happens when business is deregulated.

We need to go back to the regulations we had on business consolidation and mass ownership we had before the reagan years.

No one should be this filthy rich. Especially while the gap between the rich and poor keeps getting wider.

This isn't something to celebrate.

Yes it's exactly the result of unregulated capitalism.

Improperly regulated capitalism creates monopolies. Which destroys competition and innovation.

Jeff Bezos got bored and went Hollywood. Howard Hughs did the same thing.

I don't know if $8.5 billion is a good price for the studios/catalog, but if it also includes the casinos it's a downright steal.
