Strategy
MGM focuses on exploiting its massive film library; MGM has won more than 200 Academy Awards over the years. In 2011 MGM renewed its distribution agreement with Twentieth Century Fox to release its films on DVD and Blu-ray through 2016. On the theatrical front, MGM formed a pact with Sony in 2011; that distribution partnership is limited to select pictures such as 2012's remake of the television show
21 Jumpstreet
, 2011's big screen version of the popular novel
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
, and the 23rd James Bond film titled
Skyfall
.
The company sold off its MGM-branded television networks in 2012.
