Tom praised Amazon’s move in what he called an “extremely competitive” market.

“Differentiation within your library is now an overriding necessity, and what makes some content distinctive, and therefore valuable, is global brand recognition."

He added “Intellectual property like James Bond, Rocky and The Handmaid’s tale provide both long-term library value and the possibility of spin offs with a guaranteed audience.  This is why Amazon’s acquisition of MGM might be worth its weight in subscriptions."
