Apparently, a lot of people didn’t throw away their shot to see “Hamilton” on the small screen.
Per Variety, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s acclaimed musical about the “ten dollar founding father without a father” spurred a major spike in Disney+ downloads over the Fourth of July weekend.
The movie premiered on Disney’s streaming service on Friday, July 3. From Friday through Sunday, the Disney+ app was downloaded 752,451 times globally, including 458,796 times in the U.S., according to analytics firm Apptopia.That means that in the U.S., the total Disney+ downloads were 74 percent higher than the average of the four weekends in June 2020 over comparable time periods (Friday through Sunday), per Apptopia data. Worldwide, app downloads were 46.6 percent higher this past weekend than the average of the four prior Friday-Sunday totals. (The global numbers do not include India or Japan, as the Disney+ is delivered through preexisting apps in those countries.)
Disney has been counting on “Hamilton” to pull customers into its streaming service, which launched just eight months ago. Of course, it remains to be seen if customers who came for “Hamilton” will keep their subscriptions to the platform which, in addition to Disney-produced films and shows, offers programming from Marvel, Pixar, the Star Wars franchise, ABC, National Geographic and more.
In terms of net subscriber gains, the “Hamilton” bump for Disney+ was actually bigger than the mobile app data reflects. That’s because customers could also sign up for the service online and via smart TVs (and may not have also downloaded it on mobile), noted Apptopia’s Adam Blacker, VP of insights and global alliances.
As of early May, Disney+ had signed up 54.5 million subscribers worldwide. During the pandemic, the streaming service is one of the few bright spots for Disney, which has had to shut down its theme parks and hotels and delay theatrical film releases.
The “Hamilton” movie, featuring the original Broadway cast, was originally scheduled to premiere in theaters late next year, but Disney changed plans and made it a direct-to-streaming release.
