The list is in (and we checked in twice)! 🎅🎄🎁🕎 The top 10 holiday movies of the season features a mix of classics (yes, even Die Hard) and new ones. Netflix was the only streamer to make the list, while Hallmark is still the reigning holiday hitmaker with three of the top 10. "This holiday season proves that classic Christmas movies never go out of style, with beloved comedies dominating the top five holiday movies of 2024. For three consecutive years, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Elf have been playing musical chairs for the top spot, proving the timeless charm of classic Christmas comedies. And making its return to the charts this year is the most contentious and, in my opinion, the best holiday movie out there: Die Hard. “While other streamers have taken note and stepped back, Netflix’s original content investment and distribution strategy has swooped in, with Lindsay Lohan emerging as the star to yield serious ROI for the platform and delivering the only streaming original bold enough to challenge these holiday titans. Meanwhile, Hallmark continues to be America’s choice for holiday movies. Despite Netflix’s play at the holiday hitmaker, Hallmark movies made up one-third of the top 15 this year.” - Samba TV Co-founder and CEO Ashwin Navin Read more via Forbes: https://lnkd.in/gpCZgTHs #SambaTVInsights #Holidays2024 #Streaming

We create data at the heart of TV, powering a more scientific approach to advertising and a better viewing experience.
About us
Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers. Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better. Samba TV's technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing what's on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way. Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.
