Broad Green Pictures and Amazon today announced a multi-year output deal, which will make Prime Video the exclusive premium subscription home for Broad Green's upcoming slate of theatrical films. Among the first films to be added to Prime Video will be the comedy adventure A Walk in the Woods starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson. The film was released theatrically over the 2015 Labor Day weekend and brought in nearly $30 million in box office.
Other releases being added include Learning to Drive starring Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley; I Smile Back starring Sarah Silverman who was nominated for a SAG Award for her role; and the critically-acclaimed 99 Homes starring Andrew Garfield, Laura Dern and Michael Shannon, who won a SAG and was nominated for a Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award for his role.
Also included in the deal is Broad Green's upcoming summer release (in theatres July 15) The Infiltrator starring Bryan Cranston as Robert Mazur, an undercover U.S. Customs agent who brought down the largest drug and money laundering operation in U.S. history. Lucy Walker's follow-up documentary Buena Vista Social Club - Adios, which will provide an intimate look into the changes and success the Buena Vista Social Club musicians have experienced over the past 20 years, will also come to Prime Video.
"The titles that we have released previously on Amazon have had great success, both in DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as streaming on-demand on Amazon Video. Working with Amazon to share our titles on Prime Video now gives us the ability to strategically promote our films across more platforms, to reach even more viewers," said Steve Nickerson, President of Home Entertainment at Broad Green Pictures.
"We know our Prime members are always hungry for great entertainment and that's what we aim to bring them," stated Jason Ropell, Worldwide Head of Motion Pictures for Amazon.
