Thunderous announcement in the world of cinema!
The e-commerce giant Amazon will buy the MGM studio, and in particular its James Bond saga, for 8.45 billion dollars, the American e-commerce giant announced on Wednesday ensuring that it will preserve the heritage and the studio film catalog.
Series like "Fargo" or "Stargate" also appear in the MGM catalog.
The two sides have "entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire MGM for a purchase price of $ 8.45 billion," Amazon said.
“MGM has nearly a century of cinematic history and complements the work of Amazon Studios, which has primarily focused on producing TV show programs,” he added.
Amazon already has a video platform, Amazon video, with a large catalog of films or series, and about fifteen pay channels, with a wide variety of content.
