redsvillas field notes
The central scarcity in entertainment is not content. It is attention: the time in which a viewer chooses among a film, a series, a game, a live event, a feed, and every other claim on a screen.
First, the verified record: Deloitte says its 2025 U.S. consumer research found an average of six hours of entertainment time per day.
The wider context is equally important: The report describes that time as increasingly divided among TV and movies, streaming, social media, and gaming.
A third point keeps the reporting grounded: Deloitte argues that studios and streamers face larger competitors for both audience attention and advertising.
This framework changes the way an industry story should be read. A release’s challenge is not only acquisition; it is explaining why it deserves a place in an already crowded routine and how its format meets a particular moment of attention.
The useful reader question is therefore not ‘what is competing with this title?’ but ‘what habit is this title trying to enter or replace?’
