What is the current price of James Bond’s license to kill? Amazon MGM paid $20 million for creative control of the 007 franchise.
Earlier this year, Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli stepped back and handed over creative control to Amazon MGM. The three entities, Wilson, Broccoli and Amazon MGM, formed a joint venture to house the intellectual property rights while allowing the three to remain co-owners of the property.
A recent earnings report from Eon Productions revealed the cost of doing business. “On February 20, 2025, the company entered into an agreement for the sale of its interest in the Bond franchise, all associated assets, as well as its subsidiaries, B24 Limited and B25 Limited. The total consideration for the sale amounted to US$20 million,” the report said.
