Week: 2026-03-16 → 2026-03-22
Growth Drivers
  • Surface concentration: Mixed surfaces
  • Momentum (72h): building (insufficient historical density for a stable median)
  • Market activity: 310 observations across 5 titles
Analyst Notes
  • GXI score: 56.8 (0–100).
  • Signals observed: 310.
  • Territory mix: US leads (67.1%). Top countries: US, UN, KR.
  • baidu is currently capturing 32.9% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Expansion. Median 72-hour velocity: 0.00. Interpretation confidence: High confidence. baidu 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: unknown, discussion, clip_chain.

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 — Busboys - movie (Country: US)

  • Signals: 168
  • Primary discovery surface: baidu
  • Surface share: 32.1%
  • Cycle state: Expansion
  • Interpretation confidence: High confidence (83/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $14,393.11–$24,241.03

yandex4426.2%
youtube2716.1%
instagram2213.1%
dailymotion84.8%
Executive framing:
baidu is currently capturing 32.1% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Expansion. Median 72-hour velocity: 0.00. Interpretation confidence: High confidence. baidu 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.
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, discussion, clip_chain
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for baidu 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. Strengthen signal density before scaling spend aggressively.

#2 — Perfect Crown - Movie (Country: KR)

  • Signals: 25
  • Primary discovery surface: youtube
  • Surface share: 100.0%
  • Cycle state: Surface concentration
  • Interpretation confidence: Measured confidence (63/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $2,433.90–$4,099.20

youtube25100.0%
Executive framing:
youtube is currently capturing 100.0% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Surface concentration. Median 72-hour velocity: 0.00. Interpretation confidence: Measured confidence. Discovery is overly dependent on youtube, 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: 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.
  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. Strengthen signal density before scaling spend aggressively.

#3 — Touch Me - Movie (Country: US)

  • Signals: 55
  • Primary discovery surface: baidu
  • Surface share: 54.6%
  • Cycle state: Surface concentration
  • Interpretation confidence: Good confidence (72/100)
  • Estimated 30-day attention value band: $5,354.58–$9,018.24

baidu3054.5%
dailymotion1527.3%
youtube916.4%
instagram11.8%
Executive framing:
baidu is currently capturing 54.6% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Surface concentration. Median 72-hour velocity: 0.00. Interpretation confidence: Good confidence. baidu 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
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for baidu within 24–48 hours.

Executive framing:
dailymotion is currently capturing 38.5% of measured weekly discovery activity. Cycle state: Surface concentration. Median 72-hour velocity: 0.00. Interpretation confidence: Good confidence. dailymotion 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.
Why this matters:

  • Dominant signal types: unknown
Recommended interventions:
  1. Protect the lead surface first: publish one native-format asset for dailymotion 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. Strengthen signal density before scaling spend aggressively.
