iTunes is the Transaction VOD with the highest number of French titles

MIPCOM CANNES – the 38th International Co-Production & Entertainment Content Market – is a 4-day gathering of television and media professionals, where decision makers from over 100 countries converge on Cannes, France, to compete for new series, to source international production partnerships and to set the development agenda for 2022 and beyond. 

Laura Ghisiglieri (Global Development & Marketing Director) will be attending the event on behalf of BB Media, global Data Science company specialized in Media and Entertainment, for more than 35 years. BB Media has global data on content offerings on +3,900 streaming services available in +240 countries and regions, and all their standardized metadata.  

An analysis focused on the availability across 1,306 covered streaming platforms of the European region was made, with a special focus on French content, and the following results were obtained: 

Of +470,1K unique titles monitored on the whole continent, 177,300 can be found in France, thus winning the second place in the list of countries with more titles in Europe. The U.K. tops the ranking with 233,035 titles and Germany closes the Top 3 with 177,163 titles. 

“Fantastic Beasts: The secrets of Dumbledore” (185 platforms), “Jackass Forever” (183 platforms) and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (157 platforms) are the most distributed movies in Europe that were launched so far this year. The last two are both U.S. productions, while the first one is a co-production between the United States and the U.K. 

After monitoring 17,404 French titles, BB Media detected that the most offered business model is Transaction VOD, with +13,6K contents. Interestingly, iTunes (a TVOD) is the streaming platform with the most hours of contents corresponding to that country (112,906 in total), and the one with the largest French library in Europe (7,156 titles). 

When comparing the streaming services with the greatest number of bundles with third parties in order to build a bigger user base, Netflix not only comes in first in France with 14 bundles & partnerships, but it also shows the highest amount of bundles at a regional level, with 283 bundles in all of Europe. HBO Max earns the second place with 156 bundles and Apple TV+ the third place with 91.
