Riding its Season 4 premiere, Karate Kid reprise Cobra Kai topped Nielsen’s U.S. streaming chart for the week of December 27 to January 2.
With more than 2.4 billion minutes of viewing, the series outdistanced two feature films that both cracked the 2-billion-minute mark during New Year’s week. Encanto, which became accessible to all Disney+ subscribers just 30 days after its Thanksgiving debut in theaters, finished No. 2 with 2.2 billion, while Netflix’s Don’t Look Up captured about 2 billion, good for third place.
Cobra Kai‘s latest batch of 10 original episodes arrived in the same release slot as Season 3 a year ago, with the show generating 2.6 billion minutes of streaming. The series originated as YouTube original, migrating to Netflix in 2020, ahead of YouTube’s strategic pivot back to its roots in creator-driven programming.
Encanto, which has grossed almost $230 billion at the worldwide box office, had its first full week on Disney+ after starting to stream on December 24. Its month-long window marked a significant shift from previous Disney theatricals. It got 25% of its viewing in Hispanic households, and 40% of it from kids aged 2 to 11 years old.
Star-packed climate change satire Don’t Look Up is already certified as Netflix’s No. 2 most-viewed original movie ever, according to the company’s own numbers. It racked up 360 million hours of viewing during its first 28 days on the service. In its second week, Nielsen said, it grew from 1.6 billion viewing minutes the week before had viewership evenly split across the 18-34, 35-49, and 50-64-year-old age groups.
The streaming chart tracks viewing only via a TV screen, meaning mobile is not counted. Numbers from Disney+, Hulu, Amazon’s Prime Video, Netflix and Apple TV+
