Gerard Butler & O'Shea Jackson Jr. Expected To Return
Lionsgate filed an amended registration with the SEC taking into account changes requested by the Commission and moving closer to a split of Studios and Starz.
Prime Video will exclusively stream Lionsgate’s 2026 slate of films.
Starting in 2026, Prime Video will also be able to select premium titles from Lionsgate’s catalog, including such premium franchises as John Wick, Twilight, Divergent, Saw and Emmy-winning TV series like Nurse Jackie and Weeds, among others.
The agreement will see titles like ‘Now You See Me 3’ and ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ land on the streamer after leaving cinemas and Starz’s earlier exclusive first-run window.
John Wick: Under the High Table is the project in the franchise I’m most looking forward to seeing, so I’ll be happy to watch it wherever it ends up. But considering that Lionsgate and Prime Video will be cozy with each other for the foreseeable future, it’d be a missed opportunity for them not to collaborate on this series.
Den Of Thieves introduced the world to Butler’s Detective Nick O’Brien, a.k.a. Big Nick, a brash cop who crossed paths with a criminal mastermind, Donnie (Jackson). In the sequel, the rivals move from opposite sides of the law to the same team as Nick joins Donnie’s crew in Europe for his latest score.
Lionsgate and Starz are about to be split from each other, but the entities have extended their exclusive theatrical output deal.
Starting in 2026, Prime Video will also be able to select premium titles from Lionsgate’s catalog, including the studio’s premium properties and iconic franchises such as “John Wick,” “Twilight,” “Divergent,” “Saw” and Emmy-winning television series like “Nurse Jackie” and “Weeds,” among others, to bring to its Prime members.
Amazon's Prime Video and Lionsgate have struck up a deal that gives the streamer exclusive streaming rights to the studio's movies.
David Jonsson will star in the lead role of Frank Ocean’s forthcoming directorial debut film, and has begun shooting the project in Mexico City. The independent film is currently untitled, and plot details remain under wraps.
This year, Paramount will likely air spots for “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” which is supposed to mark Tom Cruise’s last hurrah playing a daredevil IMF agent, as well as trailers for “Smurfs” and the Jack Quaid thriller “Novocaine.”
