Amazon has closed on its $8.45 billion purchase of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, buying the rights to some of the production company's iconic stable of films that includes the Rocky and James Bond franchises.
'MGM has a nearly century-long legacy of producing exceptional entertainment, and we share their commitment to delivering a broad slate of original films and television shows to a global audience,' said Mike Hopkins, senior vice president of Prime Video and Amazon Studios, in a statement.
The deal was first announced in May of last year.
MGM, founded in 1924, has a library of about 4,000 movies and 17,000 TV episodes, according to Indiewire. The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2010 and has relied on other companies to market and distribute many of its films since.
