June Statistics & Monthly Update
June 2026 reflected the seasonal slowdown that historically affects mid‑year performance across the catalog. Earnings declined by roughly 50% compared to May, aligning with long‑term trends that consistently show June as a softer month for viewer engagement and platform activity. Despite the downturn, core franchise titles continued generating steady rentals and purchases, and several catalog staples demonstrated notable resilience. Amazon VOD remained a bright spot, with multiple older titles outperforming expectations and contributing meaningful stability during an otherwise quieter period.
As we move into July, we’ll stay focused on maintaining visibility, supporting platform momentum, and preparing for the stronger late‑summer and fall cycles that traditionally bring renewed activity across streaming, VOD, and FAST placements.
Even with June’s expected seasonal slowdown, several titles continued to stand out across platforms. A few catalog staples delivered above‑average consistency, and certain franchise entries showed stronger‑than‑usual resilience. Below is a breakdown of the month’s top‑performing titles, highlighting the projects that maintained viewer interest and helped stabilize overall earnings during a quieter period.
Here are the stats.

MUTV March Uptime Report
June was another strong month for MUTV, with the channel maintaining online for over 85 percent of the time. Total Uptime: 612.27 hours out of a possible 720 total hours.
Downtime was due to power outages, system upgrades, and content upgrades.
Thank you to everyone who tunes in, supports the channel, and keeps the community growing.
------------------------------------
*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were down when compared to the previous month. This month, there were over 51 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, the watch hours are holding fairly steady on Amazon. Amazon changed its 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 our clients received payouts from the service.

June book sales were not immune to the anticipated slowdown, but many titles still held their own.

International Distribution of Films
Jume continued the catalog’s global expansion, with multiple titles securing new placements across a wide range of international platforms. Amazon Prime Video added fresh territories, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, and Guernsey.
Although June delivered the expected mid‑year slowdown, the broader outlook for the catalog remains positive. International placements continue expanding across multiple FAST and VOD territories, creating new opportunities for long‑tail revenue and fresh audience reach. Several new key releases have begun rolling out across platforms, adding fresh visibility to the catalog, and the continued growth of the book line provides an additional avenue for audience engagement and diversified income. Historically, late summer and fall bring a strong upswing in viewership, and with franchise titles showing renewed traction, the catalog is well‑positioned for that seasonal lift. We’ll stay focused on strengthening platform visibility, supporting global distribution, and building momentum as we move into the more active months ahead.
Thanks for the support!
