In June, Amazon MGM Studios revealed that it would not be distributing the nearly-finished $40m film, stating that it would “be better served if it were released by a different studio”. It came just months after Amazon announced it was investing $50bn in Open AI and roughly a year after he attended the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sánchez.
