Amazon set to buy MGM movie studio for $9 billion

Approach for studio behind James Bond franchise comes on wave of consolidation in the sector


Amazon.com Inc is in talks to acquire the iconic U.S. movie studio MGM, The Information reported on Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The status of Amazon's discussions with MGM is unclear and it is possible no deal may result, the report said.

The movie studio behind the "James Bond" franchise, also owns the Epix cable channel and makes TV shows, including popular shows like The Handmaid's Tale, Fargo, Vikings and Shark Tank.


Amazon declined to comment on the report, saying it "doesn't comment on rumors or speculation".
