TangentĪmazon will still get more than 4,000 films and 17,000 television shows from MGM as part of the deal, even without the pre-1986 catalog.
That’s how much Turner ended up paying for MGM’s pre-1986 library, the Los Angeles Times reported in 1986. WarnerMedia division Turner Classic Movies confirmed to Forbes in an email that Turner and WarnerMedia still hold the rights to MGM’s pre-May 1986 catalog, and noted the company also has a deal with MGM giving them control of many UA films through 2022.
