One of the biggest movie deals ever signed in the region, the multi-year agreement includes top international and local exclusive movies, as well as hundreds of episodes of kids content and library movies.

“We’re really pleased to announce that we are launching one of the biggest movie deals ever in the Nordics.

“We are very excited to enter into this new deal with Prime Video in the Nordic. Prime Video is a top-tier streaming service offering great content, and we are thrilled that Amazon has decided to boost its Nordic presence, and that Nordisk Film can be a part of that journey. Nordisk Film Distribution continues to develop, acquire, and distribute the best international and the most anticipated local language feature films throughout the Nordics. And with this new and very exciting deal, we underline our position as the market frontrunner when it comes to attractive content and groundbreaking distribution partnerships. Our new deal with Prime Video will strengthen our position as Scandinavia’s top content powerhouse,”  said Kenneth Wiberg, Senior Vice President at Nordisk Film.

In addition to increasing our local content slate, launching 18 local Originals across the Nordics in the upcoming months, we are excited to also offer our customers some of the best local and international films exclusively to Prime Video customers in the Nordics. This landmark deal with Nordisk is indicative of our long-term ambition to continue to grow Prime Video in the Nordics by investing in strong local partnerships in the region,”  commented Martin Backlund, Head of UK & Nordics Content at Prime Video.
