With Disney+’s massive investment in Star Wars and Marvel, the force is strong, with titles from both series topping the platform’s most-watched list.
According to American data-gathering organisation Nielsen, The Mandalorian and Loki are at the top of the streaming giant’s entire original programming output.
According to the findings, Disney+’s first original series, about a lone Star Wars bounty hunter paid to retrieve ‘The Child,’ was watched for a stunning 14.5 billion minutes, with 8.4 billion of those minutes viewed in the two months following the launch of The Mandalorian Season 2.
Due to its shorter season, Loki, which follows up on a loose end left in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, has a higher average watch time per episode of 872 million minutes.
In fact, Loki outperforms all other Marvel episodes in terms of minutes watched, with a total of 5.23 billion — making the popular series the first and only Marvel show to reach the billion-minute barrier in a single week.
The Mandalorian, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s study of Nielsen’s 2021 year-end report, is far and by the most popular show in both franchises.
The Mandalorian’s two seasons are compared to other Star Wars and Marvel live-action shows in the following list.
Most-watched Star Wars and Marvel live-action shows on Disney+
1. The Mandalorian Season 2 (8.38 billion minutes watched)
2. The Mandalorian Season 1 (5.42 billion minutes watched)
3. Loki Season 1 (5.23 billion minutes watched)
4. WandaVision (4.8 billion minutes watched)
5. The Book of Boba Fett (4.4 billion minutes watched)https://get-latest.convrse.media/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Ftv%2Fdisney-plus-mandalorian-loki-top-27023581&cre=center&cip=18&view=web
6. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Season 1 (4.15 billion minutes watched)
7. Hawkeye (3.46 billion minutes watched)
With Loki’s return slated for summer 2023, none of the following Marvel series have received a second season. The glowing figures will make the Disney camp very happy.
The Mandalorian had a lot riding on it; it was the first Disney+ original series, premiering with the streaming platform in November 2019.
It was an avalanche of success, resulting in the platform gaining 26.5 million global subscribers in its first quarter. With Moon Knight premiering to critical acclaim in March, both Marvel and Star Wars continue to flex their formidable muscles for Disney+.
Ms. Marvel will be released on June 8, while Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi will be released on Friday (May 27).
