This report analyses the current state of the online market in Western Europe and the USA and provides five year forecasts of transactions, consumer spending and Studio revenues on a country-by-country basis. The report examines the effect that the emerging online movie sector will have on physical media sales, including the impact of digital on traditional release windows. Online business models, pricing and Studio margins are also reviewed. Individual chapters are dedicated to each of the major Hollywood Studios, providing in-depth coverage of their digital strategies and the opportunities and challenges they each face.
Key findings:
- The online movie market will be worth over $1bn in 2011 in the US and Western Europe combined
- Transactional business models will dominate, with download-to-own services generating the majority of revenues in 2011
- As with digital music, online movie services need to be closely integrated with a device to be successful
- A key obstacle to overcome is the delivery of online movie content to the television
