Prime Video and IMDb TV Sign Multi-Year Licensing Deal with Universal Filmed Entertainment Group

Multi-year agreement brings Prime Video live-action films such as Jurassic World: Dominion, The 355, Ambulance, and more, soon after theatrical release.

IMDb TV is the first AVOD service to secure major studio network-window with blockbusters such as Fast 9, Sing 2, Old, and more.

SEATTLE--July 8, 2021-- (NASDAQ:AMZN) - Today, Amazon's streaming services, Prime Video and IMDb TV, have announced a multi-year licensing deal with Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG). Under this agreement, Prime Video will have an exclusive pay-one window for UFEG's slate of live-action films in the U.S. starting with the 2022 release slate and will also receive rights to a package of UFEG's library movies. IMDb TV, Amazon's premium free streaming service, has also secured an exclusive network-window for films from UFEG's 2020-2021 theatrical slate and rights to a package of animated titles. Building on the recent announcement that brought Peacock to Fire TV customers, this licensing deal furthers the partnership between Amazon and NBCUniversal.

Starting in 2022, UFEG's new live action films will first become available on Peacock after their theatrical releases, before landing exclusively on Prime Video four months later with titles to include the highly anticipated Jurassic World: Dominion, The 355, and Ambulance. Prime Video will also gain SVOD rights to UFEG's theatrical slate of animated movies through a subsequent window, including highly anticipated 2022 theatrical titles such as Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru and DreamWorks Animation's Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Bad Guys. Several iconic titles including the Jurassic Park franchise, Bourne franchise, Love Actually, Get Out, and the Fast & Furious franchise will also become available to Prime members.

"We know Prime members love movies and this new deal with UFEG will deliver some of the best films available for our customers," said Brad Beale, Prime Video vice president of worldwide content licensing. "This new slate of UFEG films, including exciting upcoming releases such as Jurassic World: Dominion, The 355, and Ambulance will continue to build upon Prime Video's catalog and delight Prime members, all at no additional cost to their membership."

"Recognizing that all parties would benefit from a modernized windowing structure, this new agreement allows Prime Video and IMDb TV to benefit from UFEG's vast library and diverse content like never before," said Peter Levinsohn, vice chairman and chief distribution officer, UFEG. "We're thrilled to team up with Amazon to deliver our titles to its customers. This agreement further delivers on our distribution strategy to monetize our unparalleled movie library across multiple services, while offering customers the most choice, control and flexibility in how, when and where they watch films."

IMDb TV will obtain an additional window to stream UFEG's 2020-2021 slate of theatrical releases, featuring titles such as Dolittle, The Invisible Man, F9 (Fast & Furious 9), and Sing 2, with full exclusivity across AVOD and SVOD, during the license period. In addition, IMDb TV will also have access to select titles in UFEG's animation library, including Illumination's Despicable Me 2 and DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Shrek 2.

"This significant deal with UFEG is another step forward in solidifying IMDb TV's reputation as a premium free destination for blockbuster movies," said Lauren Anderson and Ryan Pirozzi, co-heads of content and programming at IMDb TV. "Expanding our library with prominent UFEG titles from every genre, IMDb TV continues to deliver on our promise to provide viewers the content they crave with something for everyone."
