“Cobra Kai” beats “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “The House of the Dragon” in the audience this week

The reign of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” in the streaming audience was short. Nielsen has released streaming data for the week of September 5-11, the second comparison between the Amazon Prime Video series and ‘The Dragon’s House’, and neither has topped the chart. Recall that Nielsen collects audience data from streaming platforms only in the United States and from Smart TV views, not to mention other devices or viewers who have seen series such as the “Game of Thrones” prequel on HBO’s linear channel. night of its premiere. But that’s the closest to a comparison we’ll get. As a curiosity: this was the first week in which four streaming platforms exceed the 1 billion minutes accumulated with any of their titles..

Neither Middle Earth nor Westeros have been able to eliminate the fifth season of “Cobra Kai”, which arrived on Netflix on September 9th.. Between the new chapters and the past seasons he has accumulated 1,737 million minutes. It surpasses the figure for the premiere of ‘The Rings of Power’ the previous week, although in this case the accumulated minutes from the 50 available episodes of ‘Cobra Kai’ are counted. The Prime Video series only had two episodes available to the public last week.

In second position we find ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’which reaches 1.5 billion minutes since its Disney + debut from Thursday 8 September to Sunday 11 September. In third place is another Netflix series, “The Devil in Ohio”, which reaches 1.377 million minutes thanks to its eight chapters.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” falls in its second week in fourth place. The three episodes of the series available that week scored 1.203 million minutes. It’s pretty much the same figure as the week of its premiere, both because it has managed to stick around since its debut, but it doesn’t add any new viewers either. 40% of those minutes correspond to the views of the third episode, which premiered on Friday of that week.

“The House of the Dragon” has its best week in streaming

‘The House of the Dragon’ goes next with 1.016 billion minutes, a huge increase over the previous week, in which it amassed just 781 million minutes. That’s the best data from the HBO Max series, who added followers in the following weeks. And all this without counting those who saw the fourth episode on HBO on Sunday evening, an audience not covered by Nielsen. “Game of Thrones” remains in the top 10 with 805 million minutes accumulated across eight seasons during the week.
