“We are committed to continuing to make James Bond films for the worldwide theatrical audience,” they said in a statement.
After the merger was announced, Broccoli and Wilson were quick to remind that Bond is best seen on the big screen. The first 24 entries have racked up billions upon billions at the box office, so Broccoli and Wilson have long nixed any plans to move the movies to streaming platforms. (“We take that responsibility seriously,” Broccoli once told Variety.)īond is one of Hollywood’s longest-running and most commercially successful film franchises. Wilson have unprecedented creative control over the property, including final say over everything from the film’s marketing strategy and distribution plans to potential spinoffs or TV shows and even Daniel Craig’s eventual successor. “Bond” producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Even with the acquisition, Amazon will only own 50% of the franchise. Will “No Time to Die” premiere on Amazon Prime rather than in movie theaters? With all due respect to Hannibal Lecter, James Bond is the crown jewel of the MGM empire. Buying MGM gives Amazon access to famous faces like James Bond, Rocky Balboa and “Pink Panther,” as well as a range of films such as “The Silence of the Lambs,” “RoboCop” “12 Angry Men,” “Basic Instinct,” Moonstruck,” “Poltergeist,” “Raging Bull,” “Stargate,” “Thelma & Louise,” “Tomb Raider” and “The Magnificent Seven.” On the TV front, “Fargo,” “Vikings” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” will also belong to Amazon. “Legally Blonde” will eventually be available to stream on the Prime. Rest easy, fans of using legal jargon in everyday life. What is included in the 4,000 movies and 17,000 TV shows in MGM’s vault? So if you’re looking to watch the exploits of Dorothy and a certain Yellow Brick Road, an HBO Max subscription will cost you $15 per month. Because of a deal brokered with mogul Ted Turner’s Turner Broadcasting in 1986, those titles - and MGM’s entire slate prior to 1986 - belong to WarnerMedia. The early MGM library has been heavily picked over, meaning iconic titles like “The Wizard of Oz,” “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Gone With the Wind” won’t be making the pilgrimage to Prime Video. MGM had produced classics such as “Gone With the Wind” and “Legally Blonde.” Will those films be heading to Amazon Prime Video?
