The message to Hollywood from the world’s largest online retailer is clear: you need us more than we need you. Amazon has stopped offering preorders of hot new movies on disc from Warner and now Disney in order to negotiate more favorable pricing from the studios.

Beginning in May, Amazon ceased to accept preorders from major Warner movies, and now is doing the same with such Disney flicks as Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Maleficent.
The tactic demonstrates Amazon’s more hardcore approach to leveraging its position as one of the world’s major vendors of DVDs and Blu-rays.
Michael Pachter, analyst with Wedbush Securities, says that this may be the new normal, as Amazon begins to throw its weight around. Said Pachter:
“Yes, the rest of Hollywood should brace for similar tactics . . . Amazon investors don’t care if Disney merchandise isn’t available on Amazon, as third parties would have it available through Amazon.

Will Amazon’s strongarm tactics backfire, or should Hollywood studios prepare to deal with this sort of thing going forward?
