Amazon Prime Video has acquired the US rights to Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel’s Shotgun Wedding,
romantic action comedy from Lionsgate, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The Amazon streaming platform earlier picked up the international streaming rights to the Jason Moore-helmed pic in several territories and is now adding
the domestic rights. Lionsgate initially intended a wide theatrical release in the US
market for the movie until Amazon made the Hollywood studio an offer its distribution execs concluded they could not pass up on.
In early 2021, Duhamel replaced Armie Hammer ahead of a Shotgun Wedding shoot in the Dominican Republic in the role of the groom. Hammer’s exit followed disturbing comments attributed to the actor that surfaced on social media. “Lionsgate is
supporting me in this, and I’m grateful to them for that,” Hammer
said at the time.
