Love this ❤️

This thread really turned into this GIF for me

Trailer for this was mellow which I liked, hoping this can be a nice breezy fantasy show for people to get into after HOTD and ROP.

Looks pretty dope, love the Clone Wars style animation, also shoutout to Yaddle!

Video of the new logo, that is crazy good looking

😂 Poster looks cool

Yeah COVID for sure had an impact, lots of elbow bumps going on in some of the footage and yeah I think Andor will suffer from it a bit just like nearly every show/movie shot during 2020 and early 2021.

Loved this behind the scenes, as someone who enjoyed the show more than most I really like to see the process behind everything. Ewan and Hayden together will always be great. Also always funny to see people blaming The Volume for certain scenes that were Blue Screen or shot on location lol, I guess at that point ILM have to take people not being able to tell as a compliment.

I agree @Porthos no point in rushing out another Star Wars film announcement at this point we have had Jenkins, Johnson, Taika and even Feige working on/due to work on film/films with no real traction on any in terms of production let alone being released.

Felt this episode was a significantly better episode than the first 2, felt like this was setting up were the show is headed, also feel like the visuals and music stepped it up which is impressive as those were the best aspects of last week. Rewatched the first 2 episodes a couple of days ago and I think I have managed to turn my brain off at hearing certain names (be they places, people or things) and just enjoy this show for what it is.

Free stuff! Unfortunately the Nat Geo digital 6 months is only for the US and Canada. Only other thing that is global is the ShopDisney discount which there is a version of that locally, can't speak for other regions.

Hopefully he plays a Sith Lord, he was an awesome villain in Deliver Us from Evil.

Yeah looks good, a bit disappointed the preview is only HD but not too long of a wait for the actual show and that will have all the 4K Dolby goodness. Still far from my most anticipated Star Wars project but we have had a decent size break since Kenobi so will be checking this out as soon as it drops.

I'm expecting nothing on Disney+ Day itself personally but could just be lowering my expectations. One thing is for certain they are not announcing everything Disney+ related on Disney+ Day as the panel descriptions have mention of Disney+ for example the Disney/Pixar panel: They have 3 days to announce plenty of stuff coming to Disney+ at the various panels at D23 and I imagine they will still put social posts for people that are not attending, similar to what Marvel Studios did at Comic-Con.

Got my expectations pretty low, although I'm sure it won't be awful as they are charging money for this. At the games showcase for a date for Disney Speedstorm (the free to play kart racer) and some Star Wars games. Pixar, WDAS and Live Action, I hope we get a mention of that 2D Bluebeard film (if it is real) and expect the already announced stuff to get some pictures/footage out depending on how far away from release it is. Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century, I'm hoping for some cool stuff from Willow, Indiana Jones 5 and Mandoverse for the most part. we will probably get TV stuff, Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts from MCU, Avatar and Apes from 20th Century. Parks I doubt they announce anything for Japan, so not too interested in that but I'm sure some of the Star Wars stuff will look dope and wouldn't be shocked at an Encanto attraction retheme or announcement of a rude in the works.

No idea how many family accounts there are for Amazon, Amazon also offers a Prime Video only option but I imagine that is a fairly small percentage of total viewers. I will say whilst Amazon Prime is more than just streaming it does get decent overall viewership below only Netflix and Hulu in the US. Source: https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2022/streaming-claims-largest-piece-of-tv-viewing-pie-in-july/ I would guess they have around as many active users as Hulu (46m) or Disney+ (44m US and Canada, probably 39m US only) so around 40-50m monthly viewers as a wide range. Internationally Amazon is biggest in terms of market share in Japan (which also accounts for majority viewership) with Canada, Western Europe and Australia also pretty sizeable but viewership lower than Disney+ even though Disney are smaller in these markets in terms of subs. India is sizeable by amount of subscribers, less so market share, but viewership I don't know how they do there. Don't know how much this all helps, I would say wait for Nielsen data in a months time then it will be easier to compare to other services shows at least in the US. Internationally/globally we don't get a lot of viewership stats but as I said the other day the 25m number seems good to great, Kasey Moore who runs What's on Netflix did a comp to some Netflix numbers they used to give out when they did views rather than hours but should be noted that the language used by Netflix was accounts vs. Amazon saying viewers which may have boosted Rings of Power numbers some but also none of Netflix's numbers are from first day only either. For people who can't see the tweet for whatever reason comparing ROP 25m views: "To my knowledge Netflix never released single day figures. Murder Mystery got 31 million in first weekend. (45 full week) Stranger Things 3 got 40.7 million accounts in first 4 days. Red Notice most watched on day 1 with ???"

Easily my favourite show on TV right now, always leaves me wanting more but I’m glad this is weekly as I love talking about the weeks episode with friends. Really love what they are doing with Rhaenyra and Daemon in terms of similarities and imagery; without getting into deep spoilers.

Nielsen probably not a good metric compared to internal data for multiple reasons, Nielsen is very very likely under what the actual figure is due to it being limited to TV views (no mobile, laptop etc.) also even with a good representative panel (which has been questioned by the broadcast networks post Covid) it still doesn’t compare to the exact concrete data the streamers have. I would say Nielsen is more just a good guide of popularity/competition across the different streamers which we most likely won’t get Rings of Power data for roughly a month so no point dwelling on that too much. Anyway HotD doubled its viewership from night 1 to full week but important to note that was scheduled on linear TV and probably a bit frontloaded due to such a high % of people who have HBO watching that first night, I wouldn’t be shocked if Rings of Power does more than double that 25m worldwide figure it’s first week but that is just a gut feeling.

Back in April 2021 Amazon said they had ~175m people who had watched something in the last 12 months, that period of time was during the height of the COVID pandemic in much of the world. Also active viewers (be it you view that as Monthly, Weekly, Daily) would all be much lower. So at the high end having 1/7th of your user base watching in the first 24 hours seems pretty good to great from my perspective, but how much of the show each of those ~25m people watched is in question which could either make it more or less impressive.

How is a major news organisation writing this nonsense. Was Zaslav scared that Rings on Power would overshadow HotD and ask CNN to put out the hit (sarcasm) but seriously has CNN always done this or are the comments under the tweet right that this actually is a change to appeal to a Fandom Menace style audience by CNN.

It is a global number but only first 24 hours still seems pretty good, likely not as big as HotD on a global basis sure but that is like comparing every blockbuster film opening to the biggest MCU films, GoT is a hugely popular IP more so than even LotR/Middle Earth in recent times. I expect that number will continue to grow as well, obviously what is more important is what percentage of people finished the episodes and plan to continue watching which we got absolutely no indication of and will likely have to rely on third party information to get a rough picture of that.
