Amazon announced this week that Jennifer Salke has been in charge of Amazon MGM Studio, which can show high levels of dissatisfaction with the company’s streaming strategy over the past few years.
Obviously, SALKE’s president, Mike Hopkins (Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video), praised employees by emailing her work by e -mail and explained the company as a starting to make our leadership structure slightly flat, which is repeated in recent technology companies.
In other words, Amazon is not intended to fill the role of SALKE. Instead, the heads of movies and TV studios are reported directly to Hopkins.
But the report on Salke’s departure emphasizes Amazon’s disappointment and the challenge of her leadership. Previously, NBC’s executive, SALKE, joined Amazon Studios in 2018.
Since then, the trimmer has been successful, including “introductory”, “Jack Ryan”, “Nakjin” and “Boy”. He also bet on the “Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power”, which has been a show that has not been proved by the world -renowned phenomenon that can be expected with more than $ 1 billion reported budget.
Then there is “Citadel”, a spy show designed as the epicenter of the fictional universe of the world’s spin -off, such as “Citadel: Diana” and “Citadel: Honey Bunny”. The extensive re -shooting changed “Citadel” to the second highest show (after the ring of power), but the reception was more overwhelming. Hollywood reporter said the second season was delayed from the fall of 2025 to the spring of 2026 and the additional spinoff was suspended.
Amazon also struggled to produce another James Bond film after acquiring MGM in 2022. Producer Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (Achievement of Long Bond producer Albert “Cubby” broccoli) maintained creative control of the franchise in December, and Barbara Brocoli was especially mentioned as Salke. I suggested. As a “content,” she was reported to have described the team of a technical giant as a “fool.”
Another source said that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was angry with the WSJ story about broccoli.
SALKE’s name was noticeably missing from the announcement of Amazon’s bond trading. But she will start a new movie and TV producer for the first time in Amazon.
