Week: 2026-04-20 → 2026-04-26
Growth Drivers
  • Surface concentration: Mixed surfaces
  • Momentum (72h): median 189.0 attention observations per title
  • Market activity: 190 observations across 3 titles
Analyst Notes
  • GXI score: 49.2 (0–100).
  • Signals observed: 190.
  • Territory mix: US leads (100.0%). Top countries: US.
  • yandex is currently capturing 49.0% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 189.00. 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.
  • 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 — "The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act" - Movie (Country: US)

  • Signals: 78
  • Primary discovery surface: yandex
  • Surface share: 42.3%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: High confidence (86/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $9,636.49–$16,229.88

dailymotion911.5%
baidu810.3%
seo_spam22.6%
Executive framing:
yandex is currently capturing 42.3% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 189.00. 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: mirror, unknown
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. 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.

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

  • Signals: 74
  • Primary discovery surface: yandex
  • Surface share: 47.3%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: High confidence (86/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $9,725.86–$16,380.40

  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.

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

  • Signals: 38
  • Primary discovery surface: yandex
  • Surface share: 65.8%
  • Cycle state: Acceleration
  • Interpretation confidence: Good confidence (77/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $4,994.36–$8,411.56

youtube12.6%
Executive framing:
yandex is currently capturing 65.8% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Acceleration. Median 72-hour velocity: 189.00. Interpretation confidence: Good confidence. Discovery is overly dependent on yandex, which increases fragility. 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.

#4 — TBD Expansion Title #4 (Country: UN)

  • Signals: 0
  • Primary discovery surface: unknown
  • Surface share: 0.0%
  • Cycle state: Initial detection
  • Interpretation confidence: Measured confidence (66/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $0.00–$0.00
Executive framing:
unknown is currently capturing 0.0% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Initial detection. Median 72-hour velocity: 189.00. Interpretation confidence: Measured confidence. No single surface is dominating yet, which reduces fragility but also weakens immediate focus. Discovery should broaden across adjacent surfaces if routing and creative remain aligned.
