Amazon will buy the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio for 176 billion

For example, the MGM studio is behind films about James Bond, Rambo or the children’s animated series Tom and Jerry. Amazon also operates a movie playback service called on demand Amazon Prime, which competes with Netflix or HBO Go, for example.

This seems to be crucial for Amazon. “The real financial value of this transaction is represented by a well of intellectual property in an extensive catalog, which we intend to revitalize in collaboration with the talented MGM team,” confirmed Amazon’s Vice President of Prime Videos.

Amazon owner Jeff Bezos said in a recent letter to shareholders that 200 million people subscribe to Amazon Prime. In a document to the authorities, the company said that 175 million people watched Amazon Prime videos last year.

The telecommunications conglomerate AT&T also recently announced that it will separate its WarnerMedia media division and merge it with rival Discovery. AT&T should own 71 percent of the new company for about $ 43 billion (849.8 billion crowns).
