Our Take On The New Reacher Data
It’s A Welcome Insight Into The World Of Streaming
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to assessing how successful a given streaming movie or TV show has been is finding any sort of hard data. Netflix publishes a weekly top 10 list to show what’s popular globally and regionally, but the streamer could certainly be putting its thumb on the scale here with its algorithm, helping to shape what’s popular. The same goes for the other streamers.
This lack of any real peek behind the curtain at these streaming services makes the recent Parrot Analytics data especially interesting.Knowing how much Prime Video has invested intoReacherwould provide some much-needed contextfor this new data, but the show still looks like a success. Parrot recently reported, for example, thatSeverancegenerated over $200 millionfor Apple, and that show likely costs much more than the Prime Video series. If this revenue data is anything to go by, it’s looking like the confirmedReacherseason 4 won’t be the show’s last.
