Disney+ had a mix of results in 2024. While big franchises like Marvel and Star Wars underperformed, The Acolyte emerged as a standout, pulling in 2.7 billion minutes watched, making it the platform’s second-most viewed series after Percy Jackson and the Olympians (3 billion minutes).

Despite underwhelming numbers for shows like Echo and Agatha All Along, Disney+ relied heavily on these major properties to stay afloat.

TV production stayed down last year, though the decline was slower than the year before, dropping 7% from 2023, according to a Luminate report. The entertainment industry is still recovering from the impact of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which affected nearly every corner of film and TV.

Broadcast TV bounced back faster than other formats. Networks worked hard to get shows back on the air early in the year, resulting in a surprising 25% rise in production. Cable, however, struggled the most, with the original series hitting new lows, down 15% compared to 2023.

You have to read the entire Luminate report to get the full picture.

quote:

Despite a promising start, Star Wars series The Acolyte was canceled by Disney and Lucasfilm shortly after its first-season finale. While mixed fan reactions were likely a factor, viewership for the show had waned, with significant decreases after the first two episodes and into the finale.


The premiere episode had around 2.5 million views on its first day available while the finale got less than 1 million views.

Through 5 weeks The Acolyte was getting about half the audience of Ahsoka. The budget of The Acolyte was around $180 million vs the $100 million budget of Ahsoka.

Disney+ top ten wasn't very impressive.

Percy Jackson 3 billion
Acolyte 2.7 billion
Agatha All Along 2.3
Echo 1.5
X-Men 97 1.4
The Bad Batch S3 .9
Skeleton Crew .9
Ahsoka .8
Mandalorian S3 .8
Mandalorian S1 .7

Top Ten overall

Fool Me Once 12 billion
Bidgerton S3 11 billion
Landman 9.9
The Perfect Couple 8.8
Tulsa King S2 8.5
Monsters: Menendez Bros 8.1
The Gentlemen 8.0
Fallout 7.9
Griselda 7.6
Love is Blind S6 7.4

2.7 Billion Minutes


What a meaningless and deceptive statistic.

The show was objectively garbage. On multiple levels. That's why it got canned.

Based on the low interactions it had on social media, I strongly question the value and authenticity of these numbers.

If this fricking thing got cancelled after 1 season and it’s the second most watched show on Disney, what does that say about the state of Disney?

Celebrating 'most watched minutes' on D+ is like winning a gold medal at the Special Olympics.
