January Statistics & Monthly Update
Here’s a look at our January numbers. We did see a slight uptick from December, which is a positive shift after several months of instability in the market. While overall revenue remains lower than in previous years, this improvement shows that conditions may be beginning to stabilize.
Our efforts to recapture lost revenue by expanding our YouTube presence and strengthening direct partnerships are already showing promise. These initiatives are helping offset some of the broader market decline, and we’ll continue building on them in the months ahead.
We’ll keep monitoring trends closely and stay focused on reaching new audiences, improving visibility, and creating additional income opportunities for everyone involved.
Here are the stats.

SURPRISE OF THE MONTH
(A movie that saw an unexpected uptick)
Hunter Shoots Bigfoot: The Interview*Top Digital Purchases of the month:
(This is the purchase of a film as a digital download.)
*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were up when compared to the previous month. This Month there were over 37 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. So, it was nice to see a slight uptick in watch minutes and hours. Amazon changed 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 to Amazon to help ensure the success of filmmakers. In fact, we reach Amazon services and territories that were never available through Slate.
Mysteries Unlimited TV - This 24/7 live channel is a project of Zombie Media. We are proud to announce that some of our clients received payouts from the service for the month of January. Our hope is to continue to grow the channel, and that payouts will increase for everyone. MUTV officially launched in early November. We recently added over 50 hours of new content.
MUTV Streams original and classic content from the heart of the mountains. It showcases indie films, cryptid reviews, Appalachian storytelling, and More!
FearPix - More of our titles are now available on FearPix. FearPix is the ultimate destination for horror lovers and indie creators. Stream spine-chilling content, support underground voices, and help shape the future of horror. They have a YouTube presence and a downloadable app.

Wholesale Pricing to Stores
We also offer wholesale pricing to bookstores, gift shops, and retail outlets. ZMP has shown some 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.
Changes at Tubi (read here) have affected everyone across the industry, and the shift toward prioritizing series over individual creators and distributors has been one of the most challenging adjustments.
Thanks for the support!
We’re working to offset these losses through expanded marketing efforts and several new ventures already underway. Our push into YouTube and direct partnerships is showing early signs of promise, and we expect these avenues to continue growing as we refine and expand them.
We also believe additional streaming services will step up to fill the gap left by recent platform changes, creating new opportunities for filmmakers to regain lost revenue. In the meantime, we strongly encourage all filmmakers and authors to continue self‑promoting and building their own visibility; it remains one of the most effective tools in today’s landscape.
Thanks for the support!
Let's Keep Pushing!
Let's Keep Working!
Let's make 2026 a BIG year!
