‘The Mandalorian’ Becomes First Disney+ Series to Crack Nielsen’s Top 10 Streaming Programs
“Star Wars” show takes the third spot following Oct. 30 Season 2 premiere
The return of Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” notched the streaming service’s highest-ranking on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming programs, landing at No. 3 for its second season premiere weekend.
However, Netflix still had the other nine slots, with “The Queen’s Gambit” reigning over the list in its first full week since it’s Oct. 23 premiere. NBC comedy “The Office” landed at No. 2, while Christmas movie “Holidate” debuted at No. 5.
Below are the Top 10 from Oct. 26, 2020, through Nov. 1, 2020, ranked by minutes viewed.
The Queen’s Gambit (Netflix): 1.85 billion minutes viewed
The Office (Netflix): 1.046 billion minutes viewed
The Mandalorian (Disney+): 1.032 million minutes viewed
Schitt’s Creek (Netflix): 963 million minutes viewed
Holidate (Netflix): 654 million minutes viewed
Grey’s Anatomy (Netflix): 624 million minutes viewed
Criminal Minds (2020, Netflix): 620 million minutes viewed
NCIS (Netflix): 552 million minutes viewed
The Haunting of Bly Manor (Netflix): 535 million minutes viewed
Great British Baking Show (Netflix): 530 million minutes viewed
For Disney+, it’s only the second time the streaming service has appeared on Nielsen’s weekly list. In September, “Mulan” had a one-week run on the list.
Currently, the Nielsen panel reports minutes viewed on Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix. Given that “The Mandalorian” will stream new episodes through Dec. 18, plus the upcoming debuts of Pixar movie “Soul” (Dec. 25) and the first Marvel Studios series “WandaVision” (Jan. 15), expect to see Disney+ make more of a permanent home on this list.
