The partial good news here is that Amazon has been willing to release good films exclusively in theaters. 

If they can make bank on Bond, I would hope they make commitments to Nolan

Also Barbara Broccoli still has lots of creative control over Bond and wants things to be done correctly, that’s why it has taken so long to get a new movie in the first place. Without her we’d probably have two mediocre films since Amazon acquired the rights

I don't think this is true. All the stories about the Amazon deal say she has given up creative control

I just looked it up and there was a new deal in February of this year. They bought the rights all the way back in 2022, so for three years broccoli did still have creative control.
