Lionsgate: Safeguarding Content Exclusivity and Subscriber Growth from Piracy

This report highlights the significant impact of piracy on movies and TV series produced and distributed by Lionsgate, including major studios such as Lionsgate Films, Lionsgate Television, Starz Originals, and Summit Entertainment. It provides detailed insights into piracy threats across theatrical premieres, Premium Video-On-Demand (PVOD) releases, and streaming availability on Starz and partner streaming services.

Lionsgate invests substantially in compelling original content to attract and retain subscribers globally, drive revenue growth, and strengthen viewer engagement. However, piracy severely undermines these goals, with unauthorized high-quality copies frequently appearing online immediately after official releases, often dominating top positions in global Google search results.

Considering that over 90% of viewers discover content via Google Search, this visibility of pirated copies creates direct competition against legitimate distribution channels. By identifying key vulnerabilities highlighted in this report, Lionsgate can proactively reduce piracy visibility, protect intellectual property more effectively, maintain content exclusivity, and fully capitalize on its significant investments in premium entertainment.
