We recently reported on Nielsen’s streaming numbers for late December, which included a great success story for the Disney launch Soul. In this post, we note that Nielsen did not include HBO Max in its streaming chart numbers. But now, those numbers are released anyway – at least, by Wonder Woman 1984.
As shared by the Hollywood Reporter, the Nielsen numbers for Wonder Woman 1984 they are very, very good. They support WarnerMedia’s claims about the film’s performance – during the first week of its release, the film accumulated 2.25 billion minutes of viewing. Which makes it the most popular streaming title of the week, beating Soul1.67 billion minutes. This is supposed to make it the most viewed film in the service.
Nielsen has not yet released HBO Max numbers on its charts, and the release of these statistics may be motivated by WarnerMediadesire to, you know, one on top Soul On here.
“The impact of Wonder Woman 1984 at HBO Max cannot be underestimated ”, said Andy Forssell, executive vice president of HBO Max. “As it was announced on Wednesday during our earnings and, as this Nielsen data shows, it was a great Christmas gift for the consumer when he wanted and needed it. This partnership with Warner Bros., of course, continues throughout the year, but it started with Wonder Womanarrival on Christmas Day with great success. “
G / O Media can receive a commission
That said, don’t expect Nielsen to release these numbers regularly, at least until it finally adds HBO Max to its standard streaming graphics. This was, according to the service, a unique thing.
