“The Book of Boba Fett” premiere saw 13% more viewers than the premiere of Marvel’s “Hawkeye” on Disney+. The Mandalorian spinoff launched on December 29th and was viewed by 1.7 million U.S. households during its first five days on Disney+, ranking above the 2 premiere episodes for “Hawkeye” which was released in November.
Samba TV, which reported “The Book of Boba Fett’s” viewership numbers says that “Hawkeye,” was watched by 1.5M HHs from Nov. 24-28.
“The Book of Boba Fett” still ranks 32% below Marvel’s Loki. For comparison, Marvel’s Loki premiere was watched by 2.5M homes over June 9-13, Falcon and the Winter Soldier (1.8M) and WandaVision (1.6M).
Samba TV only measures viewership (of at least 5 minutes) in SmartTV terrestrial TVs with a panel size of 3 million U.S. households. Even though the numbers don’t tell the entire story of a show’s total number of viewers, including mobile and online, Samba TV is one of the few metrics firms out there monitoring streaming viewership.
