The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers
It is impressive to be at nine times the average audience demand, especially for a show on Disney+. The service has a few huge shows, but two of those three are miniseries. Such shows can only bring in new subscribers for a short period of time while Disney+ works on getting more multi-season shows to click. The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers may not be a breakout phenomenon the way The Mandalorian was, but it likely wasn’t expected to be either.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Given this new Star Wars series has aired only two episodes, both of which were at the very end of this 30-day period, it is expected the show’s multiplier rises substantially as time goes on. I would feel differently about its chances if it stayed at or around this 3.0 multiplier.
