Allen sued Amazon for allegedly breaching the four-picture deal, which was to 'finance and distribute his future films and to be his 'home' for the rest of his career,' according to the suit, filed in February.
Allen alleged that he had completed the movie "A Rainy Day in New York," and spent more than $20 million in doing so before Amazon canceled its release and shelved a deal for three more movies, according to the suit.
Allen's suit said that Amazon had backed out of the deals because of "a 25-year old, baseless allegation against Mr Allen, but that allegation was already well known to Amazon before Amazon entered into four separate deals with Mr Allen." Allen's daughter Dylan Farrow accused her father of molesting her in an attic in 1992 when she was 7 years old, an allegation Allen has repeatedly denied.
Allen's company, Gravier Productions, got an international release for "A Rainy Day in New York," including France, Italy and Hong Kong. Representatives for Amazon and Allen had not responded to CNBC's request for comment at the time of publication.
