What rentals (and whose) were hot in 2019

We’re into year five of streaming movies with FULLDOME OnDemand, and with 2019 in the rear view mirror, here’s our annual year-end performance review.

The good news: we rented more than one thousand fulldome shows in 2019! Woo-hoo!

Our tally of the most popular show titles welcomed California Academy of Sciences with three shows appearing for the first time in the Top Ten, and one from Houston Museum of Natural Science. Here’s the tally:

10. show poster Earth’s Wild Ride producer logo Houston Museum of Natural Science

9. show poster Habitat Earth producer logo California Academy of Sciences

8. show poster Moons: Worlds Of Mystery producer logo Museum of Science, Boston

7. show poster SpacePark360: Infinity producer logoproducer logo Dome3D and Loch Ness Productions

6. show poster Incoming! producer logo California Academy of Sciences

5. show poster HUBBLE Vision 2 producer logo Loch Ness Productions

4. show poster Moles producer logo Albedo FullDome

3. show poster Expedition Reef producer logo California Academy of Sciences

2. show poster Larry Cat In Space producer logo Loch Ness Productions

1. Dawn of the Space Age. No surprise here, 2019 being the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. But our business relationship with Mirage3D terminated; we no longer offer their shows.


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

5. producer logo Museum of Science, Boston – 60 rentals

4. producer logo Albedo FullDome – 99 rentals

3. producer logo Houston Museum of Natural Science – 117 rentals

2. producer logo Loch Ness Productions – 151 rentals

1. producer logo California Academy of Sciences – 156 rentals


Last year, 174 unique customers logged in to rent shows. We rented more than a thousand shows overall, nearly three per day on average. 84% of the titles went to U.S. customers; 16% went to customers in 30 other countries. Loch Ness Productions-created shows made up 14% of the total.

FULLDOME OnDemand added 13 fulldome movies in 2019, five of those in languages other than English. And we introduced 2K fisheye streaming and week-long rentals for LNP shows.

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 2019 our best year yet!
