“Coming To America” sequel is in the process of being sold by distributor Paramount Pictures to Amazon Studios. According to sources, the deal is worth roughly $125 million. The expected streaming premiere date is 18th December 2020, the sources added.

This sale is a priority for Amazon Studios’ chief, Jennifer Salke, who has been on the hunt for a more commercial fare with the recent acquisition of the sequel to “Borat,” and another Paramount acquisition in the Tom Clancy adaptation “Without Remorse”, starring Michael B. Jordan. The studio also picked up Regina King’s “One Night in Miami,” expected to be an Oscar contender.
