Amazon បិទកិច្ចព្រមព្រៀង MGM - ប៉ុន្តែនេះជាមូលហេតុដែលអ្នកនៅតែមិនស្វែងរក 'Wizard Of Oz' ឬ 'Gone With The Wind' នៅទីនោះ

Topline

Amazon finalized its $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Thursday, paving the way for thousands of films to be added to its platform—but the acquisition still won’t give Amazon users access to most of the legendary studio’s classic titles like អ្នកជំនួយការអូហ្សេ និង Singin 'នៅក្នុងភ្លៀង។, as MGM’s library from 1986 and earlier now belongs to Ted Turner and WarnerMedia.

ការពិតសំខាន់

MGM, one of the leading film studios during Hollywood’s Golden Age, has been around since the silent film era in the 1920s, becoming well-known for Technicolor musicals like ជនជាតិអាមេរិកនៅប៉ារីស។ and iconic films like ទៅតាមខ្យល់.

MGM also acquired films from វិចិត្រកររួបរួម (UA) when it bought that film studio in 1981.

Media mogul Ted Turner bought MGM in 1985 and then subsequently sold the company’s production and distribution assets in 1986, along with United Artists—but kept control of MGM’s library of all its films from before May 1986, which includes more than 2,000 titles.

In addition to the Golden Age films, that gave Turner control over later classics like កិត្តិនាម និង រឿងបុណ្យណូអែល as well—but not UA movies like the លោករ៉ុកគី និង James Bond franchises, which would now be part of the potential Amazon deal.

Turner’s library of MGM films are now under the control of WarnerMedia and parent company AT&T, after Turner Broadcasting System បានបញ្ចូលចូលគ្នា with Time Warner Inc. in 1995, and a number of the classic films are now ការផ្សាយ នៅលើ HBO Max ។

WarnerMedia division Turner Classic Movies confirmed to ទស្សនាវដ្តី Forbes in an email that Turner and WarnerMedia still hold the rights to MGM’s pre-May 1986 catalog, and noted the company also has a deal with MGM giving them control of many UA films through 2022.

$1.2 billion. That’s how much Turner ended up paying for MGM’s pre-1986 library, the ទីក្រុង Los Angeles Times បាន រាយការណ៍ ក្នុង 1986 ។

តង់ហ្សង់។

Amazon will still get more than ខ្សែភាពយន្តចំនួន ១២៣ and 17,000 television shows from MGM as part of the deal, even without the pre-1986 catalog. In addition to the James Bond និង លោករ៉ុកគី franchises, the studio’s catalog includes films like ភាពស្ងប់ស្ងាត់នៃចៀម និង ខ្លារខិន​ពណ៌​ផ្កាឈូក និង ដោយស្របច្បាប់ប៍នតង់ដេ series, as well as television series like រឿងនិទានរបស់ក្មួយស្រី, សំឡេង​នោះ និង ផ្ទះពិតនៃផ្ទះ Beverly Hills. (The companies did not say Thursday when content would become available to stream on Amazon.) MGM’s deals with other producers could potentially become an issue for Amazon, however. Eon Productions, which co-owns the rights to the James Bond franchise, has already បាននិយាយថា: any future ប័ណ្ណបំណុល films will still be released in cinemas rather than solely through Amazon, and producers have បាននិយាយថា: they wouldn’t support any plans for Amazon to make a ប័ណ្ណបំណុល television series for its platform.

សាវតាសំខាន់

Amazon and MGM បាននិយាយថា: Thursday the acquisition of the studio was finalized and MGM is now a part of the ecommerce giant, after the purchase was first បានប្រកាស in May 2021. The companies were previously waiting on government regulators before closing the deal, and made their announcement Thursday after a ផុតកំណត់ for the Federal Trade Commission to lodge any objections passed without a legal challenge being filed. The ទិញ marks the second-biggest in Amazon’s history, after its $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods in 2017. Though it won’t be getting access to MGM’s full library from its century-long history, Amazon’s ទិញ of MGM is a significant investment in the company’s entertainment division, bolstering its streaming offerings to help Amazon Prime compete with other streaming platforms. The deal will also likely be a boon to MGM, giving the studio more solid financial footing and a massive distribution arm. The studio has faced a series of financial setbacks since its mid century heyday, including ប្រកាសក្ស័យធន ក្នុង 2010 ។
