Paramount+ Chopped Its Movie Streaming Library in Half

While a lot of clients most likely have Paramount+ memberships for series-watching functions (the lots of Star Trek programsand Yellowstone spin-offsare its huge franchises), having access to a large library of motion pictures is likewise a perk. Or it was a perk: according to a brand-new study, the variety of readily available function titles is less than half of what it was in 2015.

According to an audit by Reelgood (by means of IndieWirethat examined the “brochure advancement” of both television programs and motion pictures on the significant U.S. banners (Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Paramount+, and Apple Television+) throughout the year covering October 2022 to October 2023, Paramount+ has actually lost the most cinematic material. “By Reelgood’s count, at 803 titles, Paramount+ has less than half as lots of films readily available for on-demand streaming than it did a year earlier.” Far, this dip in material hasn’t hindered customers; as Reelgood notes, “Paramount+ simply included 2.7 million clients over the summertime and now has 63 million paying customers.” In June, Paramount+ released its cooperation with Showtime; it’s uncertain if this material combination impacted the film count.

Gizmodo connected to Paramount+ for talk about Reelgood’s report about its decreasing film numbers, and will upgrade this post if we hear back.

By contrast, Prime Video has the most motion pictures offered (simply over 12,000 in 2023; that’s a boost over 2022’s 10,285, however a dip from 2021’s 14,670)– method more than the second-biggest brochure, which is Netflix’s at simply under 4,000 titles in October 2023. The service with the least function movies available is Apple television+, which had a neat 69 readily available since October 2023. Aside from Paramount+, the just other service to cut its movie library was well-known title-culler Maxhowever it lost far less titles, going from 2,558 to 2,168 in between 2022 and 2023.
