Amazon Signs Output Deal with Broad Green Pictures

LOS ANGELES: Broad Green Pictures and Amazon have entered into a multiyear output deal, through which Prime Video becomes the exclusive premium subscription home to a slate of upcoming theatrical films.

Among the first films to be added to Prime Video will be the comedy adventure A Walk in the Woods, starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson. Other releases being added include Learning to Drive, starring Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley; I Smile Back, starring Sarah Silverman; and 99 Homes, starring Andrew Garfield, Laura Dern and Michael Shannon.

The deal also covers Broad Green’s upcoming summer release The Infiltrator, starring Bryan Cranston. Lucy Walker’s follow-up documentary Buena Vista Social Club: Adios will come to Prime Video as well.

“The titles that we have released previously on Amazon have had great success, both in DVD and Blu-ray, as well as streaming on demand on Amazon Video,” said Steve Nickerson, the president of home entertainment at Broad Green Pictures. “Working with Amazon to share our titles on Prime Video now gives us the ability to strategically promote our films across more platforms, to reach even more viewers.”

“We know our Prime members are always hungry for great entertainment and that’s what we aim to bring them,” added Jason Ropell, worldwide head of motion pictures for Amazon. “Broad Green are producing critically-acclaimed, smart and unique films that we know our Prime members will love watching on Prime Video.”
