Jill 31,812 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Amazon is weeks into negotiations on a deal to acquire MGM for about $9 billion, industry sources tell Variety. Chatter that Amazon (and other tech and media giants) have been sniffing around MGM has circulated for some time. But sources indicated that Amazon’s interest in acquiring the studio has taken on a new tenor beyond the usual rumor mill. The deal is said to be being orchestrated by Mike Hopkins, senior VP of Amazon Studios and Prime Video, directly with MGM board chairman Kevin Ulrich, whose Anchorage Capital is a major MGM shareholder. Reps for Amazon and MGM declined to comment. Source: https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/amazon-mgm-acquisition-talks-9-billion-1234975168/ Former First Lady of the United States.

The name of the game now is streaming service and subscribers counts, so yes, more companies will be bought out by bigger companies and merge, this will be the future. Things will never be the same again once they saw how much money Netflix made, and how Netflix get to keep most of them too!

I just don't trust that everything around is being acquired by a small group of people. They have too much power in their hands. It may be good for entertainment and stuff, but I dislike big monopolies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
