Will Amazon succeed in breaking Netflix's dominance?
The war between the world's largest video-on-demand companies has reached a climax after Amazon acquired the Hollywood studio MGM for 8.45 billion.
After six months of discussions, Amazon bought MGM on May 26. Lately, MGM has been weakened due to major financial difficulties. As a result, its market value has plummeted.
But Amazon bought ownership of MGM for an aggressive presence in the video-on-demand market, spending १० 8.45 billion, or more than 1 trillion. Amazon spent more than MGM's market value with an ambitious plan to challenge Netflix.
Amazon's Prime Video service currently has about 200 million users, while rival Netflix has 208 million users. Amazon is taking one step after another to rise to the throne of Netflix. This is believed to take the video-on-demand market to new heights.
MGM has produced more than 4,000 films and more than 17,000 hours of television shows.
Amazon is also investing heavily in its own Amazon studio to create special shows and movies for Prime Video. The acquisition is expected to be highly competitive with Disney and Netflix.
