Salke exited after seven years at Amazon. She had a power struggle with Mike Hopkins, the head of Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios. Salke and Barbara Broccoli, the longtime steward of the James Bond IP, had not seen eye-to-eye on the fate of the franchise from the moment that Amazon acquired MGM — including valuable property — for $8.5 billion in 2022. It was Hopkins, a non-creative exec who has been Salke’s boss since joining Amazon in 2020, who instead had been developing rapprochement with the Broccolis.

It was Jennifer Salke's fault. They let her go too.
