@ian - I've said this all along...
Why do 'we' refer to PVOD as something new... It's not.
It's golden days have gone now that every media corporation wants a piece and looking how to make money off it. Back in the day you paid Netflix, that's it. Now it's 4-5 different companies wanting your cash.
Disney have got the most clout movie wise because of their Pixar / Star Wars / Marvel franchises which were incredible money makers.... Netflix for your TV content - but they still kill off good shows if the data doesn't lead you to binge other content. Then you've got others Amazon, HBO et al
2 biggest issues with P/VOD is market dilution and piracy...
The easy way to solve this is buy a cinema chain
... And push your own content to it at a premium for the experience and then roll it out, still at a reduced premium, to your VOD service... Then switch it up, put stuff like The Mandalorian on the cinema and get people to pay again to watch on a massive screen.
Bingo... Double Whammy!
