Amazon's Prime Video to invest at least 90 million euros in 2026 in local production, regulator says

Amazon's Prime ​Video will ​invest at least 90 ​million euros ($105.95 million) in European video and movie production in French ‌language ⁠this year, ⁠the French telecoms regulator ​said on Thursday.

Amazon's investment requirement would raise ​to 110 million euros if the streaming service ​releases at least ⁠one film ‌fewer than 12 ​months ​after it premiered ⁠in theatres, ARCOM, the regulator, said ​in a statement.

The amount ​had been set in 2021 at 40 million euros per year, it said, adding the amounts ‌for the coming years will depend on Prime ​Video's ​sales revenues.


Broadcasters ⁠and streaming services are forced to invest in European video and cinematographic ​production in French language to be allowed to operate in France.
