Just a question that has popped in my head recently, if anyone knows anything about it:

As Amazon now owns MGM, primarily of course, because of its library of movies, as well as studio and movie making facilities, will Amazon continue manufacturing and issuing DVDs etc.?

It seems this would conflict with their streaming "Prime" service, and a lot of these streaming services apparently tend to edit old movies or not bother with them at all.

I wondered if this was causing a slight "rarity" factor with old MGM dvds, which I've noticed a few titles that seem hard to come by are issued by this studio, and if this was the reason why?

I can't see Amazon going out of their way to manufacture physical discs, and even a search on ebay for 4K MGM seems only to produce a handful of titles - mainly Rocky, or a couple of recent James Bond movies.

Anecdotally, when I'm in a charity shop which has a couple of hundred or so DVDs on shelves, only about one or two in that hundred will be MGM releases.
