FilmRise has created a proprietary data analytics algorithm methodology that predicts consumer demand of content irrespective of perceived industry demand. This content is either under the radar or significantly underestimated by the industry.[10][11]
The company was founded in 2012 by producer/financiers Danny Fisher, Jack Fisher, and Alan Klingenstein.[12][13]
FilmRise has experienced rapid growth in revenue and profitability over the past several years, as its predictive analytics of content usage has resulted in high traffic of its content library of over 40,000 movies and TV episodes on third-party platforms including The Roku Channel, Paramount's Pluto TV, Fox Corp's Tubi, Universal's Peacock, Samsung TV Plus, Soul's Crackle/Redbox and Amazon's Freevee, as well as the growth of its own direct to consumer service, the FilmRise Streaming Network. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused streaming to surge as audiences are viewing their entertainment primarily from home.[14][15][16][17]
In addition to digital syndication to streaming services, FilmRise licenses content to cable and broadcast partners such as HBO, Starz (Lionsgate), PBS and Paramount Global.[18][19]
