  • Deadline expands their article a bit Bloomberg wrote about a rumor that has been making the rounds the last week and a half, that MGM offered the film to streamers Netflix, Apple and Amazon for a proposed one year license of $600 million. Explorat…

  • "Deadline hears none of the streamers was willing to put up more than half that amount [600m], and franchise controller Eon and principal producer Barbara Broccoli nixed the deal and might have been surprised negotiations were taking place." https:…
  • So, looks like $600m for global rights is what MGM (!) is asking for https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1320027051848536065

  • Interesting to note from McWeeny's newsletter is the possibility of the deal being a one year exclusive window - similar to Netflix's deal with Paramount on Annihilation and a couple other films. Netflix launch the film, then a year later Paramount …

  • For NTTD, Canada is under Universal Pictures so if the deal is for MGM's slice of distribution rights, you'll be out of luck.
  • A couple of wrinkles, which I noted in the other thread - the tweets from MI6-HQ seem to be suggesting what may be on the table is the U.S. rights that MGM still holds. Which....I cannot see Apple/Netflix/Amazon bidding so much for because for a …
  • Interesting to note - the latest tweets from MI6-HQ are suggesting (if they have any insider info on this at all) what's being shopped around are just MGM's US rights - which would be a more reasonable thing price wise for a potential buyer but ther…
  • I believe Borat was a bit less but yeah. The asking price for a film like Bond for any streamer would be astronomical, and that C2A deal is the current record holder for the most expensive acquisition of a completed film. The alternative way is t…

  • Peacock is currently operating in the US so feels like a non-starter and Universal is more interested in PVOD as an alternative to traditional theatrical for films than SVOD streaming. And yeah @Pierce2Daniel I likewise cannot see Apple adopting …
