“The Acolyte” Debuts On The Nielsen Streaming Chart
Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from June 3rd, 2024, to June 9th. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.
The premiere of the new Disney+ Original series, “Star Wars: The Acolyte”, pulled in enough viewers to make the top ten original charts but failed to get enough viewership to make the overall chart. Highlighting that while Disney has said the premiere was successful globally, in the US, according to Nielsen’s data, it hasn’t set the streaming world alight.
When compared to the debut of “Ahsoka”, the US viewership for “The Acolyte” is almost half, and almost just a third of the most recent season of “The Mandalorian”, highlighting a major problem for the series and with the negative backlash to the series, it will be interesting to see what happens next.
Pixar’s “Inside Out” also popped up on the film chart for the first time, as audiences prepared for the arrival of “Inside Out 2” in cinemas, highlighting why a new instalment in a franchise can boost previous releases.
Disney continues to dominate the acquired chart with six out of ten shows available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+. And this also impacts the overall chart, as half of the shows are available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
“Bluey” continues to be a massive hit for Disney+, especially with the new episodes dropping throughout April. Hulu is also doing very well in the overall and acquired charts, with popular shows like “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Family Guy”, “Bob’s Burgers”, and “Criminal Minds” continuing to attract millions of minutes of viewing time.
