Amazon MGM Studios, formerly Amazon Studios, is an American film and television production and distribution company owned by Amazon, and headquartered at the Culver Studios complex in Culver City, California. Launched on November 16, 2010, it took its current name on October 4, 2023 after its merger with MGM Holdings, which Amazon had acquired the year prior.^[3]

Productions from this company, as of September 2023, are primarily distributed through movie theaters under Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Amazon's own streaming media service, Amazon Prime Video.^[4]

Alongside Amazon Prime Video, the company constitutes one half of Amazon's membership in the Motion Picture Association (MPA), which it joined on October 1, 2024.^[5]
