Amazon made a bold move by securing “Beast Games,” reportedly outbidding other streaming and media giants for the content creator’s innovative game show concept.
The project reportedly cost approximately $100 million, including the construction of an entire city for the show. However, with impressive early viewership numbers, it seems the investment might prove worthwhile.
Price Action: Amazon’s stock declined by 1.20% on Thursday, closing at $220.66. In after-hours trading, the shares saw a further dip of 0.12%, settling at $220.40, according to Benzinga Pro data.
