Nielsen have lastly launched their numbers for early June, which implies we now have numbers for The Acolyte. Luminate have their very own streaming charts so it is going to be fascinating to see how the 2 examine. What does Nielsen say about The Acolyte? Click through to find out!
This present is sporting no garments!
First, Nielsen often launched their numbers on a Thursday or Friday, why they launch them on a Tuesday now could be unknown.
And earlier than I provide the numbers I’ve to level out as soon as extra that Luminate and Nielsen numbers usually are not all that simply comparable!
Luminate measures viewership between Friday – Thursday. Nielsen does so from Monday – Sunday. Which suggests Nielsen ought to, not less than within the first few weeks, report larger numbers for The Acolyte, as a result of on the Luminate charts The Acolyte was solely launched for 2 days (Wednesday and Thursday) and Tuesday night time when it premiered. Nielsen nevertheless additionally provides all of the weekend numbers, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
With that out of the best way:
The Acolyte is a reasonably underwhelming #7 on the unique streaming charts, not within the total prime 10 and has every week 1 viewership of 488 million minutes.
Compared Luminate reported 210 million minutes, however as I discussed, on the Nielsen charts The Acolyte additionally had Friday, Saturday and Sunday to realize viewers, Luminate solely collected viewership information till Thursday, the whole lot after that’s already week 2 information on the Luminate charts. So it’s inevitable Luminate would report decrease numbers for The Acolyte in week 1. Will probably be fascinating to see how complete minutes watched throughout the season will examine… however sadly (or not) The Acolyte dropped out of the Luminate charts final week so we have now no actual information for episode 6. Solely tough estimates (it should be decrease than the #10 entry).
Ahsoka had 829 million minutes with two episodes in week 1.
If I divide viewing minutes by runtime we get the next:
The Acolyte: 6.26 million views
Ahsoka: 8.55 million views
Andor: 5.43 million views
Every part else had a lot larger numbers in week 1.
When you learn my streaming charts articles earlier than you’ll know that reveals that launch multiple episode within the first week often have considerably decrease common rankings (views) as a result of apparently not all individuals watch all of the episodes in a single go. Particularly Andor with its nearly 2 hour runtime was affected. Views for subsequent episodes had been a lot larger.
Anyway, as we will see The Acolyte is barely forward of Andor, though that had three episodes out on the similar time (which means, extra individuals could have watched a few of the episodes at a later time) and The Acolyte has a 27% decrease viewership than Ahsoka. It must be identified once more that Lucasfilm deemed it sensible to spend 180 million on the present.
Will probably be fascinating to see if The Acolyte can keep forward of Andor on the Nielsen charts within the coming weeks and if it should drop out finally in addition to extra episodes are included.
With now two streaming charts, Nielsen and Luminate, we will say with certainty that The Acolyte just isn’t solely not a rankings hit, it’s a rankings disappointment. With 6.26 million views it doesn’t even have 1/3 of The Mandalorian’s viewership. That means 2/3 of the potential viewers stated categorically “no” and didn’t even trouble to not less than take a look at the primary episode.
If Lucasfilm tried to search out new audiences with The Acolyte it failed. Or at greatest the brand new viewers they did discover got here on the expense of a majority of legacy followers who’ve no real interest in this. Both manner, The Acolyte is the 2nd least watched Star Wars premiere on Disney+ but. And that is undisputable reality, no matter what another media retailers on the market attempt to inform individuals.
