Prime Video has clinched a multiyear agreement with Lionsgate for theatrical films.
Prime Video will have an exclusive early window following STARZ’s exclusive first-run window beginning with Lionsgate’s 2026 theatrical releases available to U.S. customers, a package of films from the 2025 slate and a commitment for licensing library movies and TV.
The new agreement will include Lionsgate brands and franchises, such as the third installment of the Now You See Me franchise and the next installment of the blockbuster Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
Starting in 2026, Prime Video will also be able to select premium titles from Lionsgate’s catalog, including the studio’s premium properties and iconic franchises such as John Wick, Twilight, Divergent and Saw and television series like Nurse Jackie and Weeds to bring to its Prime members.
“We know that Prime members love great movies, and as a first-stop entertainment destination, we are excited to bring Lionsgate’s terrific slate of entertaining films to Prime Video soon after their theatrical release,” said Brad Beale, VP of worldwide licensing and distribution for Prime Video. “The combination of Lionsgate’s films along with the exciting premium entertainment from Amazon MGM Studios and our studio partners ensure that Prime members will always have something compelling to stream directly on Prime Video.”
“We’re delighted to bring to our partners at Amazon early access to go-forward slates of commercially exciting movies driven by world-class filmmakers and cast,” said Lionsgate’s president of worldwide television distribution, Jim Packer. “This agreement unlocks significant incremental value for our slate while affirming the great popularity of Lionsgate movies among an ever-expanding portfolio of buyers.”
