Movie & Video Distribution in the US

The movie and video distribution industry primarily circulates audiovisual works to cinemas, TV networks, other exhibitors and stores. The industry continues encountering increasing external competition as digital technology enables production studios to distribute their own content and bypass operators. In addition, demand in key markets, like movie theaters, remains weak, suppressing demand for distribution services. The industry has increased its reliance on independent productions and existing content libraries. Overall, revenue has been rising at a CAGR of 5.7% to $1.2 billion over the past five years, including an expected 4.7% increase in 2023. Although profit is expected to slump to 9.2% of revenue in 2023 from 12.9% in 2018.

The Movie and Video Distribution industry primarily circulates audiovisual works to cinemas, TV networks, other exhibitors and stores. The industry excludes movie and TV distributors that are also involved in audiovisual content production; retailers, rental stores and merchant wholesalers that distribute prerecorded physical media; and music distributors.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
