Netflix, Amazon Prime , Hulu ..............VODwiz? I was reading an article comparing the big 3 streaming sites and found this portion of the article to be interesting and if this was a void that VODwiz could fill or be competitive in,

How We Tested
To test content selection, I compiled four lists of top 10s. From Nielsen, an organization that monitors home media consumption, I examined 2014's most popular scripted TV shows (excluding sports, news and reality genres) and the most popular movies (based on DVD/Blu-ray sales). From IMDb, I used the top 10 highest-rated movies and TV shows of all time. Then, I tallied the availability of each movie on the service, as well as the number of seasons for each show (if available). Each service received four separate scores, one for each list, which were averaged to find out which service offered the most content that, in theory, people want to watch.
The results firmly favor Netflix. Netflix had 70 percent of Nielsen's top 10 shows available, and 63 percent of all possible seasons. Hulu scored a similar 70 percent for show availability, but only 30 percent of seasons were accounted for. Amazon Prime did not possess a single Nielsen top 10 show.
Amazon Prime and Netflix traded blows in the IMDb shows: Netflix provided 40 percent of all possible shows, but only 33 percent of all possible seasons; Amazon Prime scored 30 percent on shows, but 40 percent on seasons. Hulu scored only 10 percent on shows and 3 percent on seasons.
No service did extremely well when it came to movies, either modern or classic. Netflix had only one of 2014's most popular movies (How to Train Your Dragon 2), while its competitors had two apiece (Transformers: Age of Extinction and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire). From the IMDb list, Netflix and Amazon Prime had one apiece (Pulp Fiction), whereas Hulu had none.
All told, Netflix provided 29 percent of all possible content, while Amazon Prime came in at 15 percent and Hulu at 13 percent. While it may not provide exactly what you want to watch, from a general standpoint, Netflix stands head and shoulders above the competition.
Content
One of the most important, but most difficult, areas to measure is how much content a streaming service offers. If you're looking for raw numbers, Hulu told Tom's Guide that it has about 117,000 TV episodes and 5,300 movies , equaling about 122,300 pieces of content in total. Amazon is currently investigating this number, while Netflix declined to provide numbers.
Could VODwiz be a contender with some of the biggest names when it comes to the modern or classic movies? With a projected launch of 6500 movies besting hulu by 1200 movies I would say their is a chance. And for a company currently valued at approximately a 8 million dollar market cap I would say the launch of VODwiz will be monumental for HHSE/Medallion Releasing. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/netflix-amazon-fa...17838.html
