Prime Video Becomes Australia’s First-Stop Destination for Sony Pictures and Roadshow Theatrical Blockbusters with New Pay-1 Window Multi-Year Agreement – Prime Video today announced two multi-year agreements with Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) and Roadshow Films (Roadshow), bringing major global and local films, soon after their theatrical and home entertainment windows, exclusively to its Australian customers from August 2025. For the first time, Prime Video will hold exclusive Pay-1 streaming rights to all Sony Pictures theatrical releases in Australia.
This milestone coincides with the renewal of exclusive output agreement with Roadshow Films on Prime Video, which commenced in July 2024 and will now continue for several years. Combined with the existing slate of Amazon MGM Studios’ theatrical titles on Prime Video, these deals ensure Prime members have access to even more of the biggest cinema releases – all included at no additional cost to a Prime membership.
These landmark deals reinforce Prime Video as the first-stop entertainment destination for Australian customers.
With exclusive access to SPE and Roadshow’s theatrical film slates – including major titles such as SPE’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, 28 Years Later and Roadshow’s In The Grey – Prime Video offers customers a seamless journey from cinema to streaming.
These films will join thousands of TV shows and movies in the Prime Video catalogue alongside a growing slate of Amazon MGM Studios hits such as The Accountant 2, The Boys, Fallout, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Red One, You’re Cordially Invited, and The Idea of You, premium Australian Originals including Deadloch, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, and The Test, and live sport such as ICC Cricket, delivering on Prime Video’s mission to offer something for everyone, all in one place.
“By securing exclusive first streaming rights to films from Sony Pictures and Roadshow, we ensure Prime members get first access to stream these movies after their theatrical runs and digital rental windows,”
– said Tyler Bern, Head of Content Strategy and Content Acquisition for Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
“This delivers more choice, more convenience, and incredible value for customers. Combined with premium content from Amazon MGM Studios, including our MGM theatrical slate, these deals ensure Australian movie lovers always have something exciting to stream.”
The SPE slate will feature a wide range of major recently released and upcoming titles, including 28 Years Later, which reunites Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland; Karate Kid: Legends, which brings Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio back to their iconic roles and introduces a new Karate Kid played by rising star Ben Wang; I Know What You Did Last Summer, a new chapter in the iconic ’90s horror series that reunites Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. with a fresh ensemble cast, including Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders; Bring Her Back, an Australian horror from the creators of Talk to Me; and the upcoming crime caper, Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler and from visionary filmmaker Darren Aronofsky; and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a romantic drama starring Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie from acclaimed filmmaker Kogonada.
Roadshow’s diverse slate showcases talent driven, big budget films like In The Grey directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal, as well as award winning films such as Conclave, and a sequel to the young adult thriller Fall. Together, the slates span cinematic blockbusters, franchise juggernauts and genre-spanning hits – now set to stream exclusively on Prime Video soon after their theatrical release.
Other upcoming highlights include:
- The Monkey – Osgood Perkins directed horror film based on Stephen King’s short story available on Prime Video from August 30
- Addition – a drama from Made-Up Stories
- Den of Thieves 2 – the sequel to the 2018 crime film featuring Gerard Butler
“We are thrilled to announce the extension of this content partnership with Prime Video in Australia,”
– said Adam Herr, Senior Vice President, Distribution, APAC, Sony Pictures Television.
“Over the coming years, we have an exciting slate of theatrical films featuring some of the most iconic talent, directors and IP in Hollywood, and we can’t wait for audiences in Australia to enjoy them on Prime Video.”
“Roadshow is thrilled to extend our partnership with Prime Video,”
– said Will Meiklejohn, Director Acquisitions, Television & Home Entertainment, Roadshow Films Australia.
“This agreement cements Prime Video as the home for the extraordinary films we’ve championed on the big screen, from powerful Australian stories to internationally loved blockbusters. It’s a natural evolution of our strong relationship with Prime Video and our shared commitment to delivering unforgettable cinematic experiences to audiences across the country.”
Prime Video customers in Australia also enjoy the benefits of Prime membership with access to premium entertainment, savings and convenience, all for just $9.99 per month or $79 per year. As Australia’s first-stop entertainment destination, Prime Video offers SVOD, TVOD, Add-On Subscriptions, and exclusive global sports content, all in one place.
