Luca Tops Neilson’s Motion Picture Streaming Rankings
Luca, the fun-loving Disney/Pixar story about a curious sea monster, had an impressive debut on Disney+. Accordingly, Luca tops Neilson’s motion picture streaming rankings.
Viewing Time
This family film ranked number one for the most-watched movies during the week of June 14-20, 2021. Impressively, Luca had 1.57 billion minutes of viewing time!
According to the calculations, Luca was watched about 16.6 million times, which is almost the same amount of times as Soul during its debut. As a comparison, Soul obtained about 1.67 billion minutes of viewing time or approximately 16.7 million full views.
Although Luca tops Neilson’s motion picture streaming rankings, it also did well on the overall list for any film or TV streaming offering during the week of June14-20, 2021. In fact, it placed second only behind Manifest.
Impressive Disney Films
Indeed, Luca was originally scheduled to open in theatres; however, it went straight to Disney+ due to the pandemic. Also, Disney+ required no extra charge to watch the film.
Disney has performed well on Neilson’s movie chart, overall. Luca, Soul, Raya and the Last Dragon, Moana, and the live-action Cruella have claimed top 10 slots.
Black Widow also shockingly earned $60 million in its Disney+ Premier Access debut. Therefore, its box office/digital opening hybrid earned more than $218 million across the globe.
Neilson’s Ratings Considerations
An important fact to keep in mind is that Neilson’s streaming ratings only cover views on TV sets; hence, the number of minutes watched on computers or mobile devices is not included. Also, the minutes measured are only in U.S. homes and only include Disney+, Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix; therefore, there is some variance to consider.
In addition, below are Nielsen’s top 10 streaming movies for the week of June 14-20, 2021. Consequently, an asterisk marks original streaming films, and two asterisks mark films with a simultaneous theatrical release in the U.S. and most international territories.
