Amazon will be the only place to stream Spring Breakers, The Bling Ring, and the rest of A24 FIlms' roster of titles for multiple years. The exclusive streaming deal is a clear strike against Netflix, which has been working to ink similar deals and create exclusive content of its own. Though Amazon's agreement with A24 isn't a major one — the film studio was founded last year and only has five released films to its name — those that it has released have included hit indie flicks from major directors. It's not the kind of deal that will convince the average viewer to hop over to Amazon, but it includes acclaimed films that should improve its streaming catalog as a whole. And if nothing else, it's one less studio on Netflix.
