“The Bear” Tops The Nielsen Streaming Chart
Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from June 24th, 2024, to June 30th. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.
With the return of “The Bear” on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+, the third season, which was dropped all at once, allowing for a huge boost in viewership, and it shot straight to the top of the original chart.
Disney continues to dominate the acquired chart, with half of the shows on the chart available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+. This also impacts the overall chart, as half of the shows are available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
For the second week running, the biggest new original show on Disney+, “The Acolyte”, failed to get enough viewership to make the originals chart, which is alarming for the Star Wars franchise.
Pixar’s “Inside Out” also had a huge boost in viewership, with “Inside Out 2” coming out in cinemas, with the original movie becoming the second most-watched film across every streaming platform. The new Hulu Original “Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini” had a strong debut on the original chart.
“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.
The return of “House Of The Dragon”, has also been a huge success on Max, but since it also airs on the HBO channel, it is counted as an acquired show rather than an original.
