Comment on Amazon doesn’t regret giant Phoebe Waller-Bridge deal — but is moving to a ‘very performance-based model’

I mean that’s just the announced projects.

I’m sure they got something out of her when it comes to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, even if she left he to creating differences. Amazon already has her locked down, giving the freedom to Donald Glover probably makes them both happy.

Tomb Raider they obviously see as a long term investment, so if that is moving along at a pace they’re happy with, that might be ok.

In terms of pure speculation she worked on Bond 25, No Time to Die, and Amazon now owns MGN studios and James Bond. It’s possible she’s also working on future installments of that franchise.

There is also of course whatever original stuff she might be working on.

I agree at face value at this time, it seems like a poor investment. But they’ve renewed the deal at least once, so it must be work somewhat. (Or Amazon are fools, which is a possibility, but time will tell.)
