'''Amazon.com''' is an e-commerce and cloud computing company, founded by Jeff Bezos as "Cadabra" on July 5, 1994 in Seattle, Washington. Originally founded as a bookstore, Amazon later diversified to physical audio/video discs, music streaming, software, video games, electronics, car parts, and fresh produce. They also sell "everyday" products (USB cables, batteries, portable speakers, even patio heaters) under the "AmazonBasics" brand, as well as their own supply of electronics (Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets/streaming boxes/sticks, Echo smart speakers). Amazon is also responsible for their line of cloud services, namely Amazon Web Services, Alexa, and Amazon Drive (a competitor to Google Drive).
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>
