Amazon about to drop $9 billion for MGM

[ORDER_66]

Checkin out their catalogue at MGM Studios

Their franchises aint that big besides 2-3 n most of their shyt is old

But im pretty sure whoever structured the deal for bezos might be lookin at a good return on the investment

Streamin is the future n Bezos bettin on the long term

Bond Series, Stargate Series, Rocky Series, Wizard of Oz...

I for one would love a NEW stargate series or a continuation of SG-U....

Just release Bond on Prime
00 Series
Stargate
Wicked?
Maybe a jack ryan/00 crossover

Edit they own tomb raider too
I would make tomb raider a streaming series with a different actress

Amazon wants to beef up their entertainment IP catalogue I see.

They made some good shows but nothing gets any traction or love by the public

I always thought they should’ve changed the name
Amazon is known as shopping website it’s too good at that
It’s like Gucci making a studio called Gucci films

They're gonna remake/reboot a bunch of these old movies.

Besides Bond what do they have?

From the article:

Its 4,000 film titles include the James Bond, Hobbit, Rocky/Creed, RoboCop and Pink Panther franchises, as well as movies like “The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Magnificent Seven” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral.”
The MGM TV library includes approximately 17,000 episodes of programming, including “Stargate SG-1,” “Stargate Atlantis,” “Stargate Universe,” “Vikings,” “Fargo,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Get Shorty,” “Condor,” “Fame,” “American Gladiators,” “Teen Wolf” and “In the Heat of the Night.”
Unscripted shows in its portfolio include “The Voice,” “Survivor,” “Shark Tank,” “”The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “The Hills.”​

The primary reason for buying it is so they can stream all of MGM's catalog on Amazon Prime but there is also potential for future franchising of some of the properties like Robocop, Rocky/Creed, Stargate, etc.

Plus I think MGM owns all the characters from Silence of the Lambs minus Hannibal.

I wonder if this impacts the rights for The Handmaid's Tale series with HULU.

Not really happy with this but you do what you want when you're popping.

I don’t think it will, they got a deal with Hulu for that show
