Around 2008, Amazon entered the film production industry, producing ''The Stolen Child'' with [[20th Century Fox]]. Two years later, '''Amazon Studios''' was created for the purpose of producing/distributing TV shows, movies, and comics from online submissions and crowd-sourced feedback. Their content is distributed through Amazon Prime Video, which is a competitor to [[Netflix Originals|Netflix]] and [[Hulu]]. In May 2021, Amazon announced it will acquire MGM Holdings, Inc. the owner of [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios]]. The deal was finalized in March 2022. The company was rebranded to '''Amazon MGM Studios''' on October 2023 and currently releases its films under the MGM and [[Orion Pictures]] banners.<ref>https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/amazon-mgm-studios-argentina-1985-1235743542/</ref>

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, many {{color|orange}} dots (could represent either atoms or dust particles) zoom out and form the outline "'''amazon'''" (in its corporate font). As it is zooming out, an {{color|orange}} arrow/smile is revealed under the "'''amazon'''" text, then it is zoomed out even further, revealing the text "'''{{color|orange|studios}}'''". When it has finished zooming out, "'''amazon'''" lights up in white.

'''Visuals:''' On what at first glimpse appears to be a {{color|blue}}-tinted marble surface, there is a hardcover book in a closed position. As the screen zooms in closer to the book, it opens by itself and flips a few pages. A city starting to form itself (roads uncurling, buildings sticking together like a magnet/stretching into their full position, etc). The marble surface fades to a sunset sky background (just without the sun) as that happens. Moving into the center position, the last roads finish unfurling and the screen move further on to see street lights, a sidewalk, and apartments surrounding our view. As the camera stops moving, there is a cinema taking form. The ending product is a typical cinema entrance sign, filled with lighting around the sides, and the Amazon Studios logo in the center of it, finally slamming onto the lighted ceiling below it.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}}-black gradient background, there is the text "{{color|lightblue|'''AMAZON'''}}" wipe in from the left and "STUDIOS" wipe in from the right, both set in the Amazon Ember typeface. Then a white overlay of the text fades in from the center. The background fades, and the logo wipes out after a few seconds.
