‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ has Shattered the record for the best premiere of a Prime Video series of all time. That at least is what Amazon itself ensures, because according to internal data until 25 million viewers saw the debut of the series during its first available day.
The data sounds impressive in itself, but it must be remembered that it is the first time that Amazon shares this type of information, so it is unknown what the record was until now and also which series held that honor. A priori, it is likely that it was ‘The final list’, which swept Prime Video just a few weeks ago, but we are not certain.
Also, from Prime Video they have not wanted to specify anything else either Regarding those 25 million, nor if it is an average, of the total number of people who began to see it or if it refers to all those who have just seen the two episodes with which ‘The Lord of the Rings’ started : The Rings of Power’.
Let’s not compare crazy with ‘The house of the dragon’
Indeed, don’t make the mistake of comparing these data with those of ‘The house of the dragon’, since the first chapter of the HBO Max series had 10 million viewers during its first day only in the United States, while the 25 million of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The rings of power’ are all over the world, reaching the premiere simultaneously in some 240 countries.
For more detailed data carried out by companies other than Amazon itself, we will have to wait another four weeks. It will be then when we can get a better idea about the real success of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’.
