Lo and behold, after weeks of absence The Acolyte did handle to enter the Nielsen Streaming Charts for authentic exhibits with its final episode. The numbers are nonetheless nothing Lucasfilm could be completely happy about. Actually, the numbers are abysmal. Click on by way of for all the main points!
The collection is as lifeless as Sol
The eighth and remaining Acolyte episode managed to interrupt into the highest 10 authentic exhibits streaming charts, in tenth place, with a awful 335 million minutes. The finale was nearly 47 minutes lengthy (with credit), which will provide you with an concept about how unhealthy the numbers are.
To place issues in context right here is my up to date chart with the finale viewership numbers for all of the Marvel and Star Wars exhibits the place we’ve the info. Absent from this chart is Echo. All Echo episodes had been dumped on the identical day and the numbers had been a catastrophe, the present was on the charts for one week. Echo is – with out contest – the least watched Marvel / Star Wars collection on Disney+. Its solely saving grace is that it was made on a budget for $40 million.
However the place does The Acolyte slot in? How does it examine?
Right here is the up to date chart with The Acolyte now included!

The Acolyte is lifeless final. As talked about above Echo’s viewership is even decrease, however this collection can’t be in contrast as a result of the present had no finale viewership numbers, all episodes had been launched on the identical day, as a result of Marvel and Disney determined to get it over with as shortly and painlessly as potential (they knew Echo can be a catastrophe).
However now this. Even Ms Marvel, the – till The Acolyte – least watched “correct” collection with a weekly launch schedule, beats The Acolyte.
Anybody nonetheless delusional about The Acolyte getting a season 2 ought to look lengthy and laborious at this chart. A $180+ million funds is nice for final place. That is 58% of Ahsoka’s viewership and 27.5% of the Mandalorian S3 finale. And after we examine it to the Luke Skywalker season 2 finale it’s simply 23.2%. So greater than three quarters of the potential viewers determined to not watch the Acolyte collection finale. Briefly: Lucasfilm managed to lose 75% of its potential viewers with this present. And the finale has among the finest numbers for The Acolyte. Episodes 4-7 had even worse numbers. So unhealthy they by no means even entered the charts.
The truth that Ms Marvel has not acquired an order for season 2 (and sure, this present has followers too) ought to give Acolyte followers a touch.
And to place issues in perspective some extra: The Acolyte has 335 million viewing minutes. The Boys has 1,329 million and Home of the Dragon 1,107 million. The Mandalorian S2 finale (the one with Luke) had 1,336 million minutes, Mandalorian S3 nonetheless 1,012 million, even Andor had 674 million minutes, which put it forward of Ahsoka even, which, till now, had the least watched Star Wars collection finale on Disney+.
And with that I hope we by no means want to speak about The Acolyte once more.
