There are only 4 major streaming services (Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, and Hulu), and only 5 major film studios, of which WB is one and it represents on its own 13% of the theatrical market. The combination of Netflix + WB + HBOMax likely represents well more than 25% of the entire market (when you combine streaming and theatrical).




Amazon and Apple are both trillion dollar companies who have made forays into theatrical release. They both spend billions on content.

Besides 75% of US households have Amazon Prime and therefore have access to Amazon Prime Video.

More time is spent on YouTube than any of the streaming services you named.


True, but Youtube is not quite the same category since it's UGC. It's not a distribution channel for mainstream feature films or TV. At least not a primary distribution channel.

Disney Plus is the 2nd biggest Streaming Service around in terms of subscribers, revenue and income.
