It turns out that Amazon MGM Studios acquired creative control of the James Bond franchise for a lot less than we originally thought.
According to a recent earnings report from long-time Bond producers and owners Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli’s company Eon Productions, it has been revealed that Amazon MGM paid $20 million for creative control of the 007 franchise (H/T Variety). That's a stark contrast to earlier reports, which suggested that Amazon had paid upwards of $1 billion.
