The Book of Boba Fett entered the Nielsen streaming charts last week (there is always a ca. four week delay) with the pilot episode in 8th place, so with just one episode, which is quite an achievement since Nielsen counts accumulated viewing time for all episodes of a series. In the new Nielsen charts Boba rises from 8th to 5th place with 563 million minutes viewed. Cobra Kai remains in first place, The Witcher in second. Which means that The Book of Boba Fett with just two episodes already performs better on Disney+ than Marvel’s Hawkeye with six. Hawkeye managed 539 million minutes with the season finale and has now disappeared from the charts. Star Wars is still immensely popular and can easily outclass any Marvel show on Disney+ (The Mandalorian rules here). Food for thought maybe.
It seems that while some people – me included – were very critical of The Book of Boba Fett and found it somewhat lackluster (a verdict that was almost certainly completely reversed with the last two episodes) general audiences just enjoy the ride and make The Book of Boba Fett a success. I wonder where the ratings will go with episodes 5 and 6. But we’ll have to wait another three weeks to find out. I would not be surprised if the ratings skyrocket with episodes 5 and especially 6. Let’s see where this will end up. And it’s also a reminder to us all that audiences just want to have a good time and don’t overanalyze things like we sometimes tend to do.
Time to celebrate with good music
