Week: 2026-04-27 → 2026-05-03
Growth Drivers
  • Surface concentration: Mixed surfaces
  • Momentum (72h): median 89.0 attention observations per title
  • Market activity: 140 observations across 5 titles
Analyst Notes
  • GXI score: 36.4 (0–100).
  • Signals observed: 140.
  • Territory mix: US leads (63.6%). Top countries: US, GB, JP.
  • yandex is currently capturing 36.4% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 89.00. Interpretation confidence: High confidence. yandex is the lead capture surface, but discovery is still broad enough to redirect intelligently. Unowned clip circulation is likely to outrun official routing unless redirected quickly.
  • Dominant signal types: mirror, unknown.

What this week indicates

This weekly build is designed to show not just where attention exists, but where next-stage demand is most likely to form, which surfaces are actually carrying the title, and what intervention windows matter before momentum diffuses or gets captured inefficiently.

Top 5 Expansion Titles

Title-level intelligence on where discovery is concentrating, what likely happens next, and which interventions can improve conversion efficiency.

#1 — "Ish" - Movie 2026 (Country: GB)

  • Signals: 48
  • Primary discovery surface: yandex
  • Surface share: 54.2%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: High confidence (80/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $6,308.67–$10,625.13
Surface mix:
SurfaceSignalsShare
yandex2654.2%
baidu1225.0%
dailymotion714.6%
seo_spam24.2%
youtube12.1%
Executive framing:
yandex is currently capturing 54.2% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 89.00. Interpretation confidence: High confidence. yandex is leading decisively, which is useful for focus but still needs conversion protection. Unowned clip circulation is likely to outrun official routing unless redirected quickly.
Why this matters:
For film, discovery often concentrates around clips, reactions, and trailer-adjacent circulation before official conversion settles. The next 3–7 days usually determine whether awareness becomes controlled viewing or unowned drift.
Next likely outcome:
Unowned clip circulation is likely to outrun official routing unless redirected quickly.
Signal quality notes:
  • Dominant signal types: unknown, mirror
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for yandex within 24–48 hours.
  2. Route paid and organic traffic into one owned conversion path instead of splitting attention across weak destinations.
  3. Do not over-diversify yet. Concentrate around the current lead surface while discovery is still coherent.
  4. Use official clip sequencing, creator seeding, and watch-link routing to convert clip demand into controlled viewership.
  5. Treat this as an active intervention window, not a reporting window. Move in hours, not next week.

#2 — "Scary Movie 6" - Movie-2026 (Country: US)

  • Signals: 38
  • Primary discovery surface: yandex
  • Surface share: 36.8%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: High confidence (83/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $4,994.36–$8,411.56

Executive framing:
yandex is currently capturing 36.8% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 89.00. Interpretation confidence: High confidence. yandex is the lead capture surface, but discovery is still broad enough to redirect intelligently. Unowned clip circulation is likely to outrun official routing unless redirected quickly.

  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for yandex within 24–48 hours.
  2. Route paid and organic traffic into one owned conversion path instead of splitting attention across weak destinations.
  3. Broaden carefully into adjacent surfaces while the title is still in distributed discovery mode.
  4. Use official clip sequencing, creator seeding, and watch-link routing to convert clip demand into controlled viewership.
  5. Treat this as an active intervention window, not a reporting window. Move in hours, not next week.

#3 — "Patlabor EZY Anime (Chapter 1)" - Movie 2026 (Country: JP)

  • Signals: 3
  • Primary discovery surface: seo_spam
  • Surface share: 66.7%
  • Cycle state: Initial detection
  • Interpretation confidence: Good confidence (71/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $394.29–$664.07
Surface mix:

seo_spam266.7%
web133.3%
Executive framing:
seo_spam is currently capturing 66.7% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Initial detection. Median 72-hour velocity: 89.00. Interpretation confidence: Good confidence. Discovery is overly dependent on seo_spam, which increases fragility. The strongest surface is likely to pull more of the next discovery cycle unless the owned path improves.
Why this matters:
For film, discovery often concentrates around clips, reactions, and trailer-adjacent circulation before official conversion settles. The next 3–7 days usually determine whether awareness becomes controlled viewing or unowned drift.
Next likely outcome:
The strongest surface is likely to pull more of the next discovery cycle unless the owned path improves.
Signal quality notes:
  • Dominant signal types: mirror
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for seo_spam within 24–48 hours.
  2. Route paid and organic traffic into one owned conversion path instead of splitting attention across weak destinations.
  3. Do not over-diversify yet. Concentrate around the current lead surface while discovery is still coherent.
  4. Use official clip sequencing, creator seeding, and watch-link routing to convert clip demand into controlled viewership.

#4 — "The Last Whale Singer - 2" - Movie-2026 (Country: US)

  • Primary discovery surface: youtube
  • Surface share: 82.8%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: Good confidence (74/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $3,811.49–$6,419.35

youtube2482.8%
yandex517.2%
Executive framing:
youtube is currently capturing 82.8% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 89.00. Interpretation confidence: Good confidence. Discovery is overly dependent on youtube, which increases fragility. Official clip demand and reaction-based discovery should rise next.
Why this matters:
For film, discovery often concentrates around clips, reactions, and trailer-adjacent circulation before official conversion settles. The next 3–7 days usually determine whether awareness becomes controlled viewing or unowned drift.
Next likely outcome:
Official clip demand and reaction-based discovery should rise next.
Signal quality notes:
  • Dominant signal types: mirror, unknown
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for youtube within 24–48 hours.
  2. Route paid and organic traffic into one owned conversion path instead of splitting attention across weak destinations.
