July Statistics & Monthly Update
July turned out to be a pretty decent month overall. The catalog held steady, Amazon rentals stayed active, and the channel kept moving forward even with the usual midsummer slowdown. As we head into the fall, things should start picking up again — views, rentals, and engagement always climb once people settle back into their routines. Bigfoot, paranormal, and Appalachian content really shine in the cooler months, so I’m expecting a stronger stretch ahead.
Here are the stats.
*Top Amazon Streaming RENTALS (US) for the month:
*Top Amazon Streaming RENTALS (Rest of World) last 30 days:
*Top Overall Rentals of the month (includes all streaming services):

MUTV March Uptime Report

Fundraiser
We don’t normally run fundraisers, but Bigfoot: The Invasion is special. This gives supporters a chance to be part of the film while helping us reach a wider audience and cover production fees.

------------------------------------
*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were down when compared to the previous month. This month, there were over 43 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. Our hope is to continue to grow the channel, and that payouts will increase for everyone. MUTV officially launched in early November. We have new content that will be added in the near future.
MUTV Streams original and classic content from the heart of the mountains. It showcases indie films, cryptid reviews, Appalachian storytelling, and More!
June book sales were not immune to the anticipated slowdown, but many titles still held their own.

International Distribution of Films
July 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.
Overall, July held its own and kept things moving in the right direction. Even with the usual midsummer slowdown, the catalog stayed active, and the numbers stayed steady. As we roll into the fall, I’m expecting things to improve — views, rentals, and engagement always climb once people settle back into their routines and the cooler months kick in. Bigfoot and paranormal content really shine this time of year, so I’m looking forward to a stronger stretch ahead and continuing to build on what’s already working.
