Footnotes

Amazon MGM Studios is an American film and television production and distribution company and the flagship namesake subsidiary of Amazon. Founded as Amazon Studios on November 16, 2010, the company adopted its current name on October 3, 2023, after its merger with MGM Holdings, which Amazon had acquired the year prior.

Productions from the studio are primarily distributed through theaters and Amazon's own streaming media service, Amazon Prime Video.

Alongside Amazon Prime Video, the company constitutes one half of Amazon's membership in the Motion Picture Association (MPA), which it joined in October 2024.
