Additionally, demand can indicate the need for optimized release strategies and pricing to maximize engagement and revenue.

Understanding audience appetite for content can aid in subscriber retention and acquisition strategy, as entertainment executives can determine which titles to buy to keep their current audience happy or to attract new subscribers to their SVOD service. "Shooter" is a popular drama show in the United States, ranking in the 94.1st percentile of all drama titles, indicating that the show could be a valuable acquisition for SVOD and pay TV networks.
