Mike Hopkins, SVP Amazon Prime Video & Amazon Studios said of the launch in Australia today ‘We’ve seen how much our customers enjoy the large selection of new release movies available to rent or buy on the Prime Video Store in the US, UK, Germany and Japan, so we’re delighted to roll this service out in France, Italy, Spain, Canada and Australia today.
