Remember last fall when there were new Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings series all rolling out around the same time? It’s clearly a great time to be a fantasy fan these days, but ever since LOTR: The Rings Of Power came out, it’s been unclear how successful the super expensive TV show actually was. Amazon Studios is touting it as a massive win, but what does the data say?
If you felt like The Rings Of Power went from being a hot topic in the first few weeks before conversation died down, the numbers seem to indicate as much. Per The Hollywood Reporter, only 37 percent of domestic viewers who started the show actually saw it to the end. Audiences overseas were more loyal to the Lord of the Rings prequel show, with a 45 percent completion rate of the series.
