Nielsen Streaming Rankings, June 21-27 – The Hollywood Reporter
Manifest spent its second consecutive week as the top overall streaming title in Nielsen’s rankings for June 21-27. Loki also repeated as the No. 1 original series, though it declined some in its third week on Disney+.
For the second week in a row, the first two seasons of Manifest recorded more than 2 billion minutes of watch time on Netflix — marking some of the highest tallies for an acquired show since Nielsen began releasing weekly rankings 10 months ago. The show’s 2.05 billion minutes was down about 17 percent from the previous week, but the continued strong showing for the series on streaming has led to the possibility of a resurrection for the mystery drama.
Loki spent a second straight week as the top original show, though it was down by 19.5 percent (886 million minutes to 713 million) for the week its third episode premiered (Nielsen measures viewing of all episodes in a series for its streaming rankings). Nonetheless, it held a lead of 110 million minutes over the second-ranked original, Netflix’s Lucifer (603 million).
Amazon’s Bosch (423 million minutes of watch time) made its debut in the top 10 with the release of its final season on June 25. Elsewhere, Pixar’s Luca was far and away the No. 1 movie, racking up more than 1.7 billion minutes on Disney+. (See the full top 10 list of streaming films.)
Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries, and currently only include Amazon, Disney+, Hulu and Netflix.
