Here’s news of a new distribution deal between Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures.
This reflects the ever-changing distribution landscape. I wonder what the differences are between the deal with Sony Pictures and the previous one with Warner Bros?
Does it give them an edge for international
distribution?

This sounds huge for Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures, Geoff Hall! I think the next James Bond movie is going to be a giant hit globally. I'm looking forward to seeing it! I'm looking forward to seeing After the Hunt, Mercy, Crime 101, and Project Hail Mary too!

Warners seems to keep losing dance partners and Sony has deep relationships with Amazon on hardware sales. Only the shadow knows what really happened here but sounds like a big win for Sony.

Sam Sokolow do you think Sam, that this sounds like Warner Bros has a long-term terminal business problem?

Maurice Vaughan I must admit to feeling a side swipe when I heard that Denis Villneuve was attached to the new Bond movie. I think that the casting of Bond will be very important. They have to get that right, above all else.

Two MPA members consolidating their distribution strategies. Since the consent order restricting the studios from monopolistic practices was (without explanation) set aside by the DOJ a couple years ago, they have gone off the hook buying every viable streamer and coordinating efforts to stifle access to anything but studio content, now on a global basis. This might maybe something that should be looked at under RICO. Whatever it means for Amazon & MGM, at the end of the day it means nothing to consumers or independent filmmakers, except noting yet another incremental move to control market share.
