Snyder’s Justice League viewership behind Wonder Woman 1984 on HBO Max

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

We're getting a bit of information on how well Zack Snyder's Justice League did in HBO Max households and according to one report, it ranks second to only Wonder Woman 1984 on the platform.

According to Samba TV, Zack Snyder's Justice League pulled in 1.8 million HBO Max households in its first five minutes on the streamer over its premiere weekend. The figure puts it second behind Wonder Woman 1984 which drew 2.2 million U.S. households during the weekend of December 25-27. Samba TV is a service that polls terrestrial smart TVs so that is really only a piece of the data to indicate how well the film did over the weekend.

According to "Deadline", their insiders indicate that Zack Snyder's Justice League did massive numbers over the weekend on the streamer but the figures still have it coming in behind Wonder Woman 1984.  Many will speculate why this happened but it may just come down to the fact that Wonder Woman 1984 was a brand new franchise film coming out when we really needed one during the pandemic and the Snyder Cut is more of a niche fan film. Casual moviegoers may not have truly known what it was all about but the increased positive feedback may bring in the uninitiated to view the film on the platform.

Samba TV also discovered that Zack Snyder's Justice League topped the first-weekend premiere of The Falcon and the Winder Soldier on Disney+. They have it clocking it at 1.7 million households which is still an impressive figure but it just adds more to the issue of the transparency with streaming figures. Disney+ declared this week that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the most viewed weekend premiere ever on the streamer. Samba TV's figures do support that but we won't ever get the full story with these figures until the numbers are officially released by the various platforms.

Do YOU think HBO Max will release a more clear figure of how well Zack Snyder's Justice League did on the streamer?
