Glass Onion Takes the Top Spot on Nielsen Charts

 In a move that will surprise precisely no one, Netflix’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery managed to top the Nielsen streaming charts for its Dec 19th- Dec 25th debut. And this is despite only running for 3 of the qualifying days. Blake & Wang P.A entertainment lawyer, Brandon Blake, breaks the figures down more.

2.2B Viewing Minutes

Over those three days, the film- which has already performed exceptionally well in cinemas, and likely deserved a longer theatrical run than it got- racked up 2.2B viewing minutes. This makes it the bronze medal winner for the title of most-streamed movie in one measurement week. If you’re wondering, it still sits behind Wonder Woman 1984 and Hocus Pocus 2.

Prime Comes in Strong

We see Prime Video take the No 2 spot in the same week with Jack Ryan. Opening on Dec 21st, it took home 1.8B viewing minutes. Close on it’s heels we have Netflix again, with Wednesday also claiming 1.8B minutes- it’s fifth consecutive week with over 1B minutes to its name.

In fact, we can call it a good week for Netflix all around. The Recruit (1.7B) and Emily in Paris (1.4B) round out the top 5. The Recruit did it in style, too, jumping 83% on the previous week.

In a rather sad indictment on the state of new mid-tier movie production, however, users wanting to get into the Christmas spirit had to look to blasts from the past (Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Elf) instead of any new Christmas-themed content. Nor were they the only ‘old’ content to make the list- NCIS and Cocomelon both featured, too. Perhaps there’s little wonder that a new film with great word of mouth and viewers left hungry for more of a cinematic window managed to do so well in that field- but admittedly, Glass Onion 2 does deserve it.

 With Dune: Part Two having finally powered up the 2024 box office, it's time to build on that impetus if the wider box office recovery is to continue.

Netflix Ad Tier Turns in Fantastic Growth

Image
 What a difference half a year can make! With Netflix’s ad-supported subscription tier first launched only 18 months ago, the streamer has managed to nearly double its subscriber base since the start of 2024. Blake & Wang P.A. entertainment lawyer , Brandon Blake, fills in the details. Brandon Blake Impressive Subscriber Gains Netflix’s total subscribers for the ad-supported tier now number 40 million monthly active users. In January 2024, it was 23 million. The streamer was understandably gleeful to reveal this news at its first in-person Upfronts presentation in New York earlier this month. At its first-ever Upfronts presentation, which was held digitally in 2023, the ad tier had 5 million monthly active users.   Additionally, we were told that 40% of active signups now opt for the ad-supported plan, in countries where it is currently available. Of course, much of this can be attributed to a rather kind price ($7 domestically) for this tier, well below most of ...

Hulu on Disney+ is Officially Here

Image
While the Hulu on Disney+ Beta bundle has been live since last year, we have officially reached the point of full integration. Intriguingly, much of the executive focus on the new bundle has been around the technical advancements needed to unite the two platforms. You could take a look at entertainment lawyer Brandon Blake, from Blake & Wang P.A., looks in more depth at the united offering.                                              Brandon Blake Technical Advancements While few viewers are likely to know (or care, frankly) about the backstage technology that powers their viewing experience, Disney executives have been keen to hammer home the potential for happier, healthier subscriber engagement and retention with the new tech shift. They have gone as far as to call it the “most extensive technical advancement” since launch. At this point, it is clear that they ...
