August Statistics and Announcements

August Statistics & Announcements

Here are some stats for the month of August. The market volatility continues to impact the streaming landscape. The hope is that the market will correct itself and bring some of the focus back to independent films and filmmakers.  

This is also a post where we make announcements. 

The monthly reports include many stats. We hope they provide a deeper look at some of our best-performing titles. 

Here are the stats.

*Top Amazon Streaming RENTALS (US) for the month:

#1 Bigfoot: The Legend is Real

#3 Harlan Kentucky's Manzo Shepherd Story

SURPRISE OF THE MONTH 

(A movie that saw an unexpected uptick) Three months in a row!

The Mysterious Monroe House

*Top Digital Purchases of the month:

(This is the purchase of a film as a digital download.)

#1 Bigfoot: The Legend is Real

#2 Basic SFX Film Makeup

#3 Almost Live Season 1

*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were down when compared to the previous month, with over 24 total watch hours. The overall watch time on Amazon is down from previous years, but no doubt it is due to the growth of free-to-watch services. Amazon recently announced changes to their Slate (self-publishing Platform) and, at this time, they are not accepting new account setups in the U.S., the UK, Germany & Austria, or Japan. Amazon is an important service for all filmmakers. Zombie Media will continue to present titles on Amazon to help ensure the success of filmmakers. In fact, we reach Amazon services and territories that were never available through Slate. 

* Top Books for the month:

#1 The DogMan: The Michigan Monster by J.E. Shook

#2 Loving Bigfoot: A Romance by Sandra Rains DeBusk

#3 The Ivory-billed Woodpecker: Taunting Extinction by Guy Luneau

* Top Kindle Page Reads:

(KENP stands for Kindle Edition Normalised Pages. Amazon uses the process as the formula to calculate the number of ebook pages read by a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.)

#1 The DogMan: The Michigan Monster by J.E. Shook

#2 Convoy 19 by Mark Rivett

#3 Cryptid Creatures: The Truth Exposed by Sandra Raines DeBusk

Wholesale Pricing to Stores

We also offer wholesale pricing to bookstores, gift shops, and retail outlets. ZMP has shown some nice growth in this section of our business. Anyone wishing to add any or all of our products to their retail shop, feel free to contact us via the contact form.

With the changes at Tubi (read here), everyone's revenue has taken a slight hit. We plan to offset some of this with marketing. We believe that additional streaming services will rise to the occasion and contribute to compensating filmmakers for this loss of income. We also encourage all filmmakers and authors to self-promote. 

Thanks for the support. 

Let us all work together and make 2025 a great year!
