The Golden Globes on January 5 will award the best in TV and film, driving a regular surge in interest and viewing in nominees and winners.
The Context
Award shows have a reputation for driving up interest in nominees and winners, which even just ten years ago would have led to a rerelease around the end of January as studios continued to campaign between the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.
However, streaming platforms now dominate as the primary form of media consumption for most of the cinema-curious: Wicked, the phenomenon film based on a powerhouse Broadway musical, released on November 27 and is already available to rent on streaming platforms.
