Computer-Implemented Systems and Methods for Generating Media Content Recommendations for Subsequent Works

A method of continuing engagement of or growing an audience for a first item of media content and evaluating a recommendation for generation of a second item of media content after release of the first item of media content, comprising:

• tracking an activity level associated with a first item of media content;
• providing an interstitial content item associated with the first item of media content and tracking an activity level associated with the interstitial content item;
• evaluating the activity level associated with the first item of media content and the activity level associated with the interstitial content item using a computer-implemented scoring model to generate a recommendation score;
• generating a recommendation as to whether the second item of media content should be generated based on the recommendation score, wherein the recommendation is stored in a computer-readable medium.

A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions for commanding a processing system to execute steps for performing a method of continuing engagement of or growing an audience for a first item of media content and evaluating a recommendation for generation of a second item of media content after release of the first item of media content, the method comprising:

• tracking an activity level associated with a first item of media content;
• providing an interstitial content item associated with the first item of media content and tracking an activity level associated with the interstitial content item;
• evaluating the activity level associated with the first item of media content and the activity level associated with the interstitial content item using a computer-implemented scoring model to generate a recommendation score;
• generating a recommendation as to whether the second item of media content should be generated based on the recommendation score, wherein the recommendation is stored in a computer-readable medium.
