Filmhub's Amazon Advantage
Industry News
Amazon is doubling down on ad-supported streaming on Prime Video, bringing a massive infusion of revenue that will transform the platform. While we understand it’s frustrating that Amazon is not currently raising its pay rates, these changes will lead to more licenses, and bigger earnings for producers. We expect Prime Video to become one of the fastest growing streamers of 2025.
Are you ready for the Amazon boom?
Amazon recently announced they are shuttering Freevee and consolidating all streaming under the Prime Video platform.
However, the parts of Prime Video poised to grow explosively— AVOD and SVOD— are mostly unavailable if you submit yourself through Amazon Slte. To capitalize on the coming Amazon boom, you need the access, insights, and reach that only a distributor the size of Filmhub can provide.
Filmhub"s Amazon Advantage
TVOD vs. TVOD/SVOD/AVOD
If you submit yourself through Amazon Slate:
-
Most titles are licensed for TVOD only.
-
Your title will enter a massive queue for SVOD review. Many titles never get reviewed at all.
-
You are ineligible for AVOD licensing.
We meet with Amazon’s buyers weekly to review titles for immediate licensing across TVOD, SVOD and AVOD. In the past few months they have been ramping up and expect the trend to continue.
550% more earnings
Titles with Filmhub optimized TVOD/SVOD/AVOD placement on Prime Video see a 550% growth rate over TVOD-only titles. Switch your Amazon title to Filmhub
Premium deal terms and placements
We secure premium deal terms for select titles, including higher pay rates and fixed-fee licenses. We also pitch for preferred placement on the homepage and in high-leverage category, that greatly increases your viewership and earnings.
Expanded reach
While direct submission is limited to the U.S., U.K., Japan, and Germany, we pitch directly to over a hundred territories.
Switching your Amazon titles to Filmhub
If you have titles licensed to Amazon through Prime Video Direct (PVD), we strongly recommend taking them down and relicensing through Filmhub.
