it costs nothing to put your film on Amazon. You do have to go through some fairly tedious admin surrounding tax, but nothing a bit of googling can’t solve.

Once you’re on there, for Buy / Rent you get 50% of all revenue, after tax.

For Prime, it instantly becomes available for free to the 66 million and counting subscribers (which is more than Netflix has).

And what do we get in return? Well, something, which is better than nothing:

• In the US, $0.15 per hour streamed.
• In Germany, Austria and Japan, $0.06 per hour streamed.
• In the UK, £0.04 per hour streamed.

Yes, finally they want  to share the membership fees with the movie producers along with some profits.

Yes, as they don't run advertisements. I think the above formula is for small and independent publishers. For movies, like Hollywood and bollywood they usually buy the rights for certain period. In that case , producer gets fixed money regardless of viewing hours.

This answered by doubt, but given our craze for movies I wonder if this economics would be same for Telugu/Tamil big budget movies, needless to say Piracy 🏴‍☠️ will prevail whatsoever.

To be clear, we have not spent a single penny on marketing or advertising since the film has been on Prime. And the profit is about 7x higher than when it was on Buy/Rent without any advertising.

If the ads are related to Amazon movies/shows then agreed, if not , you are not watching a prime video(May be third party provider on prime) or there might be a glitch. I have never seen an commercial ad so far.
