History

Historical Context

After J.K. Rowling sold the first four Harry Potter books to Warner Bros. for £1 million in 1999, the eight-film series amassed over $7.7 billion worldwide and reshaped the blockbuster model. Building on that precedent, Amazon MGM Studios bought the 2023 rights to *Fourth Wing* and tapped Michael B. Jordan to produce a Prime Video series for 240 countries, echoing the franchise-driven streaming push.
