On March 17, 2022, Amazon said it completed its acquisition for $8.45 billion of MGM, along with its catalog of more than 4,000 films and 17,000 TV shows. MGM was not the same company as MGM Resorts International (MGM). The acquisition, announced on May 26, 2021, was Amazon's second-largest after its $13.7 billion deal for Whole Foods in 2017, and will allow the company to augment its video streaming offerings. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which closely scrutinized the deal, reportedly did not attempt to block it because its four commissioners were split along party lines on the matter.
