The Boba Fett Book, two weeks after your arrival at Disney + It is not as popular as its Star Wars companions, The Mandalorian.
Like Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm is working hard to develop numerous series for the streaming platform, Disney +. The first to do it was, The MandalorianA series that became a real success when it premiered in 2019, and season 2 in 2020 only increased interest in the adventures of Pedro Pascal’s lonely bounty hunter Din Djarin. The development of series like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka have apparently been fueled by the success of The Mandalorian, which boosted the spi-off of The Book of Boba Fett.
The Boba Fett Book is the second series in the live-action franchise to debut on Disney +. Whose release fans have been eagerly awaiting for a long time, as it focuses on the original character of the fan-favorite trilogy, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). Season 2 of The Mandalorian it concluded with Fett and the assassin Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) returning to Tatooine and occupying the void left by Jabba the Hutt, ending the life of their lieutenant, Big Fortuna.
The numbers
The Book of Boba Fett It premiered two weeks ago, which means it just landed very recently. However, new data reveals that it has not yet reached the same audience as The Mandalorian. According to Insider, data from Parrot Analytics confirms that Boba Fett hasn’t increased its post-premiere demand as much as it did. The Mandalorian. During the first 11 days of being available, the demand for The Mandalorian was 75.5% higher than The Boba Fett Book in the U.S. Meanwhile, the demand for The Mandalorian it was 101% higher globally.
Furthermore, it is said that The Mandalorian was the # 1 series in highest demand both in the US and globally when it premiered, while The Boba Fett Book it ranks 12th and 18th, respectively. The spin-off still has several weeks to unfold its story, so it could grow in popularity over time. Furthermore, these data do not offer a complete view of the audience figures for either series; It’s unclear how many subscribers have been tuning in. The Book of Boba Fett still seems to be working fine for Disney +.
But why does it have less audience?
There are a few reasons why the Fett-starring series is lagging behind its predecessor. At the time of the debut of The Mandalorian, it was the only live-action Star Wars series available on Disney + and, as a result, it garnered a lot of interest. Additionally, its premiere featured a game changer in the form of the Baby Yoda reveal.
Although director Robert Rodríguez hinted that the first episode of The Boba Fett Book it would also have a twist, nothing of that caliber happened. However, The Book of Boba Fett you’re favoring more of a slow-burn approach. That’s not a bad thing, but with fans more used to telling stories faster these days, the number of people who follow her on a weekly basis could decrease. Another reason is the approach that has been given to the series, since it feels that it is not the Boba Fett of the movies, something that if it detached its participation in The mandalorian, with a more pacifist Boba Fett and far from going on adventures in space in search of criminals to capture in exchange for a succulent reward. We’ll get a better idea of Boba Fett’s success once the series ends.
