Amazon attacks: 15 films per year - Hollywood in turmoil!

Amazon plans to bring at least 15 films to the cinema by 2027 to meet the need for high-quality cinema content. This announcement was made during the Cinemacon in Las Vegas, where Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, underlined the company's long -term plans. 14 film productions have already been planned for 2026, and the premiere will significantly strengthen Amazon's position in the film business. These projects are particularly remarkable after the company took over the MGM studio and its extensive film library in 2022.

As part of the Cinemacon, Ryan Gosling presented the trailer for "Project Hail Mary", a science fiction film that is to be released in the USA on March 20, 2026. In this film, Gosling embodies a teacher who becomes astronaut and starts a mission to save the earth by waking up a spaceship without memories. Gosling mentioned that the challenges of his character and the innovative directorial work by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller make the project particularly exciting.

announcements and highlights from the film world

The Cinemacon also offered a platform for other film announcements. Ben Affleck campaigned for the sequel to "The Accountant", while Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri presented the thriller "After the Hunt". Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry presented their Heist movie "Crime 101", and Chris Pratt spoke about "Mercy", in which his role as a murderous murderer revolves around the proof of his innocence.

Amazon's decision was made particularly positive to show films first in cinemas instead of publishing them directly on their streaming services. This could fill a gap caused by the takeover of Fox by Disney. According to the current statistics, box office sales in the USA and Canada are still below the level before pandemic. The film industry has struggled with challenges in recent years, such as pandemic and the increase in streaming offers.

The view for industry

The film industry shows some signs of slow recovery despite these challenges. For example, it is expected that global ticket sales will decrease easily by 2024, while independent films continue to make up a significant part of the market. Statistics show that box office turnover 2023 was $ 527.9 million, with "Barbie" being the highest sales film with USD 1.4 billion. However, the film industry is expected to grow with an annual growth rate of 8.3% by 2027.

In addition, Amazon announced that it took over creative control over the James Bond franchise, whereby the details on the occupation of the new James Bond have not yet been published. Courtenay Valenti, the film director of Amazon MGM, expressed the desire to honor the legacy of the figure and to present a new chapter in the long history of the film series.

The cinema operators welcome Amazon ambitions and hope that they will ensure that the cinema market will be revived, which has suffered greatly in recent years.
