What rentals (and whose) were hot in 2018!

We’re into year four of streaming movies with FULLDOME OnDemand, and with 2018 in the rearview mirror, here’s a year-end performance review.

Our countdown of the Top 10 popular show titles actually resembles 2017 quite a bit, with seven titles repeating this time around:

10.  Dinosaurs at Dusk  Mirage3D

9.  SpacePark360: Infinity  Dome3D and Loch Ness Productions

8.  Into The Deep  Ogrefish Filmproduktions

7.  The Cowboy Astronomer  Loch Ness Productions

6.  Moles  Albedo FullDome

5.  Aurora Storm  University of Alaska Fairbanks

4.  Moons: Worlds Of Mystery  Museum of Science, Boston

3.  HUBBLE Vision 2  Loch Ness Productions

2.  Larry Cat In Space  Loch Ness Productions

And the most-popular show for the third year running, with an asterisk…*

1.  One World, One Sky  Adler Planetarium

*Still #1, even though we had to put the show on hiatus in June, while waiting for the lawyers from Adler and Sesame Workshop to work out a new distribution agreement. We hope to get our most popular show back soon.

Of course, some producers offer multiple show titles — and in the aggregate, their shows rack up some impressive counts:

5.  Museum of Science, Boston – 53 rentals

5.  Mirage3D – 53 rentals

4.  Houston Museum of Natural Science – 63 rentals

3.  Adler Planetarium – 84 rentals

3.  California Academy of Sciences – 84 rentals

2.  Albedo FullDome – 90 rentals

1.  Loch Ness Productions – 185 rentals

Last year, 136 unique customers logged in to rent shows; about two-thirds of those were in the U.S. We rented nearly 900 shows overall, more than two per day on average. 91% of the titles went to U.S. customers, 9% were international. Loch Ness Productions-created shows made up 21% of the total.

FULLDOME OnDemand added 16 fulldome movies in 2018, half of those in languages other than English.

We love hearing from you about what you’re renting, and why. Please take a few moments to let us know how the service is working for you, and anything else you’d care to share with us about FULLDOME OnDemand.

Thank you for making 2018 our best year yet!
