Streaming platforms have embraced sports shoulder content — documentaries, biopics and cultural deep-dives that bring fans closer to their favorite teams, athletes and sports moments. But with over 263 projects released since 2020, is the demand sustainable?
As the streaming platforms become more focused on profitability, a new era has begun. With viewers overwhelmed by the management of multiple platforms and a noticeable lack of loyalty to individual SVODs, delivering consistently engaging content is the key to sustainable revenue.
Our newest report, Streaming Hits or Misses: Was Big Spending Worth It? provides in-depth data on the shifting dynamics of streaming.
The 2023 strikes left an indelible mark on the film industry. The resulting ripple effects include major release delays, a reshaped industry strategy, fewer studio titles, and film festival shake-ups, among others. Now, studio strategies and high-budget productions are under a new level of scrutiny, and investing in massive productions carries even greater risks.

This annual report for 2024 reveals Luminate’s latest findings on filmed entertainment’s progress in inclusion, diversity, equity and ability (IDEA) for actors, film directors and TV show creators. It provides invaluable insights on whether Hollywood is meeting its inclusion promises over the past 36 months through the lens of ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+ and ability representation. Exclusive to this report is an analysis of film, tv and Luminate SV(M)’s streaming consumption metrics to reveal how inclusion impacts the success of diverse content with audiences.
After a decade of almost continuous growth, TV output has dropped and is unlikely to resurge to peak levels in the near future. As streamers manage expenses more aggressively and cable’s long decline continues, there will be far less work to go around for the production community in the months and years ahead while the industry undergoes a general contraction.
In 2023, Luminate’s U.S. Music 360 survey found that concert attendance and consumer expenditures have soared since the pandemic waned in 2022.1 Furthermore, Billboard’s year-in-touring report detailed record-high global concert grosses and attendance, with revenue among the year’s top 100 tours up 53% from before the pandemic.
The year was so colossal for the touring industry that Luminate — the preeminent entertainment data and insights company — and Billboard partnered to dig deeper. Together, they mapped a sample of artists’ live events to their local and national streaming volumes to evaluate how one might impact the other.
