Amazon MGM Studios’ continued evolution took centerstage at CinemaCon, the annual convention for theater owners, this week in Las Vegas.
“We are working to deliver 15 big, bold, cinematic, global films annually into theaters by 2027,” Mike Hopkins, Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, was quoted as saying in a company media statement, “and we’re ahead of schedule with 14 titles already lined up for 2026. This really speaks to our belief in the future of the theatrical film business.”
The studio was previously releasing between five and eight movies per year theatrically, including films like ‘Air’, ‘Challengers’, ‘Nickel Boys’ and ‘Red One’.
Among the studio’s upcoming theatrical titles are ‘The Accountant 2’, starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal; ‘Mercy’, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson; ‘Project Hail Mary’, starring and produced by Ryan Gosling; and Luca Guadagnino’s ‘After the Hunt’, starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield.
“Our commitment [to theatrical] is real,” Kevin Wilson, Amazon MGM Studios’ head of theatrical distribution, said at the Las Vegas event on April 2, adding, “We’re building out a new international distribution arm to eventize films on a global scale.”
“We’re building a bold and diverse slate with theatrical in mind—sci-fi, fantasy, action-packed adventures, family-friendly fare, gripping thrillers—movies designed to be seen big and felt deeply,” Courtenay Valenti, head of film at Amazon MGM Studios, said.
