Value Film Rights With Greater Precision Across Global Streaming Markets
The Global Film Licensing Index (GFLI) provides structured pricing benchmarks for SVOD, Pay-1, and multi-window film licensing, built from executed agreement structures and aligned across major markets, windows, and performance tiers.
Use GFLI to benchmark film value, structure licensing assumptions, and model territory-level revenue with a level of precision rarely available outside the negotiating parties.
Choose your access level:
- Global Film Licensing Index: Americas + Europe
- Americas Index: U.S., Canada, and Latin America
- Europe Index: U.K., France, GSA, Nordics, Benelux
Rather than relying on modeled estimates or secondary surveys, GFLI reflects real-world deal structures across active SVOD ecosystems—capturing how leading platforms actually price film content across windows, tiers, and availability periods.
Why GFLI Exists
Film licensing prices are rarely transparent, yet they shape financing models, minimum guarantees, presale assumptions, and acquisition strategy.
GFLI gives you a structured way to evaluate those values using:
- Normalized rate cards
- Window-specific pricing logic
- Territory-level comparability
- Forward estimates through 2030
- Benchmarks derived from premium distributor and platform agreement structures
This is not commentary. It is a pricing intelligence resource built for commercial use.

What the Data Helps You Answer
Before acquisition or sale:
- What is the likely licensing range for this film in a given market?
- How does first-run value compare with second-window or library value?
- Which territories retain the strongest downstream pricing?
During negotiations:
- Is the current ask above or below normalized market behavior?
- How do platform-facing assumptions compare across regions?
- Where does window compression materially affect value?
For modeling and forecasting:
- How should projected licensing revenue be allocated by region?
- What happens to value at different performance levels?
- How do forward estimates affect long-range planning?
Why Buyers Use GFLI Instead of Generic Market Research
Most market intelligence stops at broad trends. GFLI is built around pricing mechanics.
What makes it different:
- Derived from real agreement structures, not survey estimates
- Built around the economic logic of actual licensing windows
- Normalized across territories for direct comparison
- Separates early-window, second-window, re-run, and library value
- Designed for modeling, not just reading
- Reflects MFN-aligned pricing behavior across premium buyers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a report or a dataset?
GFLI is primarily a pricing dataset, supported by a concise PDF framework that explains how licensing structures work and how to apply them. The core value is in the structured data and rate cards, designed for valuation, modeling, and deal analysis.
What exactly does the dataset include?
GFLI provides film licensing pricing across SVOD, Pay-1, and multi-window distribution, including:
- Rate cards across major territories
- Performance-based and flat-rate pricing structures
- Window-specific licensing frameworks
- Benchmark comparisons across markets
- Forward pricing estimates through 2030
The dataset reflects how leading streaming platforms actually price film content across windows, tiers, and availability periods.
Which platforms are reflected in the dataset?
GFLI is built from pricing behavior observed across the actual SVOD environments in which films are licensed—not theoretical models or isolated transactions.
At the time of analysis, the dataset reflects competitive dynamics across major platforms, including:
- United States: Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Peacock
- United Kingdom: Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Sky NOW, ITVX, Paramount+, BritBox
- Canada: Prime Video, Crave, Netflix, Apple TV+, Acorn TV
- Europe and regional markets: Netflix, Prime Video, Canal+, RTL+, Viaplay, Sky Showtime, and leading local services
This ensures the benchmarks reflect real market participation and pricing behavior across active buyer ecosystems, rather than modeled assumptions.
Is the data current?
Yes. The dataset has been fully updated and normalized, incorporating the most recent available pricing structures and market behavior.
It reflects:
- Evolving window structures across territories
- Post-2020 repricing dynamics
- Current platform acquisition strategies
Are the forward estimates reliable?
Forward estimates (2025–2030) are rationally derived from observed market behavior, including:
- Historical pricing trends
- Platform spending patterns
- Window compression and normalization effects
They are designed for scenario modeling and forward valuation, not speculative forecasting.
Are these real pricing structures or modeled assumptions?
The framework is based on executed agreement structures and comparable premium licensing terms, then normalized for cross-market use.
Rather than relying on surveys or abstract modeling, GFLI reflects the underlying economic logic used in real transactions, translated into a consistent pricing framework.
What time period does it cover?
GFLI includes:
- Historical benchmarks from 2018–2024
- Active benchmarks from 2025–2027
- Forward estimates from 2027–2030
This allows users to analyze both past pricing behavior and future expectations within a single framework.
How is this different from typical market research?
Most market research focuses on trends and commentary.
GFLI is built around pricing mechanics, allowing you to:
- Benchmark film value against structured market ranges
- Model licensing revenue by territory and window
- Evaluate deals using consistent, data-backed inputs
It is designed for commercial application, not just reference.
When should I choose Global?
Choose Global Access if you:
- Work across multiple territories
- Need full valuation and modeling capability
- Compare pricing across regions
- Build portfolio-level or cross-border strategies
Global provides the complete benchmark framework, including all Americas and Europe data.
