The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
For entertainment executives making strategic decisions about content, acquisition, and programming, audience demand data can provide valuable insights to inform their decisions. Looking at the example of "The Book Of Boba Fett" in August 2023, we can see how various metrics can help executives make informed decisions:
Content Valuation & Acquisition:

- Exclusivity: Executives can assess the value of exclusivity by analyzing how a title performs on competing platforms. Additionally, demand data can be used to estimate cannibalization of audiences if a title is available on multiple services.
- Platform-specific revenue: Demand data can also enable quantifying the platform-specific marginal revenue contribution of a title and how it drives engagement across the rest of the catalog.
Programming:
- Release strategy and pricing: By understanding demand, executives can optimize release strategy and pricing by identifying when and at what price point to release a particular title.
- Pre-release marketing: Demand data can also inform pre-release marketing efforts to help optimize campaigns and maximize potential reach.
- Competitive benchmarking: By comparing content against other titles available in the market, executives can identify any potential advantages or opportunities.
Distribution:
- Mapping local whitespaces: Using demand data, executives can identify the most popular genres within a local market. This information can help with distribution and promotion strategies.

Overall, looking at Boba Fett in August 2023, based on the data, executives may consider acquiring the show or convincing a rival streaming platform to let go of the distribution rights. Additionally, executives could devise a pricing plan for the series' distribution or optimize its release to take advantage of maximum demand.
