The Weirdness Continues

Check that out...as of the 12th, we were #10 in Horror and #72 out of EVERYTHING included in Amazon Prime Video. TV included.

As of today, we've sort of waffled between #10 and #15, and we're hanging around #76 overall.

I'm trying to figure out ways to keep the momentum going...and honestly, just being up that high helps in itself because when people search for movies they tend to only scroll down a page or two before making a decision.

Oddly, when I search on the Amazon Prime app through my Xbox on the "Horror Genre", which only lists the top 100 movies...we don't show up. The other movies from distributors show up, but not ours. Feels a bit like Amazon is probably getting paid to put ONLY the distributors stuff on that list, as Terrortory 2 has never shown up that I can see. (you can find it if you punch it into the search engine, but that's not all that helpful)

Don't know. I've still got my fingers crossed we stay in that top 100 for all of November...

So this is weird...

So we ended October with a disappointing 2.1 million minutes. Definitely not enough to get the bonus.

That used to translate to about $5K, which would still have been disappointing but not as disappointing as the $2100 I get for it now.

I was out of town the first couple of days of November--my plan was to take down the free as soon as it starts dying--that way it will still be on the top 100 list, and perhaps we'll get some people paying to rent it.

But since Amazon takes a few days to update, I won't be able to see that stuff right away.

I got back on November 3rd and checked the stats and a VERY weird thing is happening.

On the first film, November 1st was the kiss of death. The movie died FAST. Everybody getting into the Thanksgiving/Xmas spirit, I guess.

But the first 3 days of November for Terrortory 2 are better than ANY 3 consecutive days in October. Then I get the next couple of days, and it's going UP.

Just when I think I sort of have the whole thing figured out, it surprises me. And now tonight I check our rankings, and we're actually the #15 top horror movie on Amazon, period. We're #106 of ANYTHING on Amazon Videos, TV included.

So I guess I'm going to leave it up for a while longer. Heck, maybe there's a very-outside chance we could get the bonus in November if this keeps up. I have no idea what's generating the interest now, this late, but I'm not complaining...
