Amazon
Studios so far has focused on bringing a little culture to the world of
exclusive video streaming and reportedly focusing on blockbusters in a bid to
get more Prime Video users. Amazon is going for the sweet cash flow associated
with blockbusters, according to a new report from Reuters.
Amazon
has made its name in purchasing acclaimed art-house projects that grabbed
attention at venues such as the Sundance Film Festival in the hopes of luring
viewers to Prime Video with them.
Before,
the company preferred to acquire award-winning shows like Manchester by the Sea
and The Big Sick for exclusive distribution, but now a source familiar with the
company's plans reported it wants to "go after films with budgets in the
$50 million range at the expense of indie projects costing around $5
million."
Amazon has already
made strides in that direction, in fact, as we recently learned that the
company is planning on releasing a big-budget series set
in the Lord of the Rings universe.
