Overview
- Disney reported the film reached 15.2 million global viewers across Disney+ and Hulu within its first five days on those services.
- The company called the total the biggest live‑action movie premiere on its platforms since Deadpool & Wolverine and noted the five‑day figure outpaced Lilo & Stitch's prior five‑day mark.
- The streaming release followed a coordinated rollout that included a strong theatrical opening and separate digital and 4K/Blu‑ray releases that arrived before the title hit streaming.
- The sequel reunited core cast members from the 2006 film and added new supporting players, a combination studios and analysts say helped fuel nostalgia and rewatch demand.
- Studios are using the performance as a benchmark for cross‑platform windows and marketing, suggesting similar staged release plans and physical extras could be used to extend revenue and engagement for future tentpoles.
