“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version)” was the eighth-most-streamed title in the U.S. during the March 11-17 viewing window, per Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings. The concert film was watched for 677 million minutes during its first four days on Disney+.
Nielsen also notes that “Eras Tour” viewers were 70% female and “well distributed” across age ranges, though the 18-34 demographic came in strongest at 26%.
That made it the second-most-streamed movie of the week, between Millie Bobby Brown’s “Damsel,” which was watched for 1.5 billion minutes in its first full week of availability, landing it as the No. 2 title overall.
The No. 1 title was “The Gentlemen,” Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series that last week debuted at No. 3 behind “Love Is Blind” and “Damsel.” Increasing by 54% in its first full week of availability, the series hit 1.9 billion minutes watched during this window.
