Strategy: Rebuilding DC franchise; HBO remains prestige TV leader (The Last of Us, Succession).

The entertainment industry remains consolidated under five major traditional studios (Disney, Warner Bros., Sony, Universal, Paramount), while new powerhouses (Netflix, Amazon MGM, Apple TV+) have permanently altered distribution models. Success is no longer measured solely by box office but by franchise longevity, streaming engagement, and intellectual property (IP) cross-pollination.

After acquiring MGM, Amazon gained access to James Bond and Rocky. Their production strategy is unique: they use Prime Video to drive retail subscriptions.
