Pixar’s “Soul” Tops Streaming Rankings for Opening Week

Pixar’s newest film “Soul” debuted on Disney+ on Christmas Day, and was viewed more than the hit TV show “The Office” making the new movie the most streamed title that week.

From December 21st to 27th “Soul” was collectively streamed for 1,669 million minutes compared to The Office streaming for 1,435 million minutes that week. This is impressive considering that the last week of the year was The Office’s last week on Netflix.

One other Disney+ offering made the top ten streaming list that week, with “The Mandalorian” coming in at the fifth most streamed title before the end of the year.

This week of success reinforces the decision to release full length motion pictures on Disney+ for no extra cost to subscribers, as Disney+ accrued 2.3 million app downloads during the holiday season along with the number one finish on streaming rankings.

  1. Soul’s run time is 107 minutes. So, 1669 million minutes means a total of 1669/107 or 15.6 million watching of the whole movie. My son, a grown man, watched it by himself 3 times, he loved the movie so much. If you assume that on average, 2 people watch each streaming, that’s around 30 million people. In the box office, if tickets were $10 each, it would have been a $300 million box office result. If average 3 people watch each streaming, it would have been a $450 million box office result, though most people might not bother watching it together when they can each watch on their own time with their own device. It is, however, difficult to say how many people would have paid to watch it if it weren’t free on Disney+. But overall, $300 million or $450 million world wide box office record doesn’t sound that impressive for a Disney major release. And the fact that it beats the office is not exciting, being that the Office is just a TV show whereas Soul is a major Disney movie. Does this make Disney+ a successful platform for Disney movies? I don’t know.
    I haven’t seen Soul myself even though my son tried to get me to watch it. I don’t find the premise of the story very Disney-like.
    I am surprised that the Mandalorian is only 5th, I thought it’s very popular.
