Parrot Analytics presents the Streaming Report Card on the state of the US streaming industry. The report card is a quarterly recap and analysis of where the biggest players in the industry are sitting, showcasing the link between demand for original series or catalog slates and financial performance.
Depending on what your definition of the word ‘streaming’ is, most entertainment giants have reached profitability in their DTC segments as of Q2 2024. But the road ahead remains unpaved, with Paramount Global being acquired, Warner Bros. Discovery essentially putting up a ‘for sale’ sign, and even Disney struggling to raise its share price.
Parrot Analytics presents our Q2 2024 Quarterly Report Card to take stock of these and other fundament issues impacting the streaming industry.
We analyzed the major platforms from five media companies that control nearly two thirds of all US demand for TV content: Disney (Disney+ & Hulu), Warner Bros. Discovery (Max), Paramount Global (Paramount+), NBCUniversal (Peacock), and Netflix. We include demand data for Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video, whose parent companies do not break out subscriber or revenue numbers for their entertainment platforms, but who stand out in audience demand share and major awards recognition.
We have combined subscriber and revenue data from corporate earnings reports with our exclusive audience demand data, one key chart, and commentary to reveal the connections between audience demand and financial performance in the entertainment industry.
We intend for this to serve as a longterm resource for your continued industry coverage.
The full report card is only available with a DEMAND360 subscription.
