"Fallout" is the smash success Amazon Studios has been waiting for. The show, based on the popular video game series of the same name, has become one of the biggest hits to date on Prime Video. Amazon has revealed that the series is now the second-most-watched show in the history of the streaming service, trailing only the mega-budgeted "Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power."
According to Variety, "Fallout" was streamed by 65 million viewers during its first 16 days of release. Amazon made the choice to release the entire first season all at once on April 10. That's closer to the traditional Netflix binge model, rather than the week-to-week episode model that Prime Video has employed in recent years. That may have attracted more viewership in the early going, and that makes the show one of Prime Video's biggest hits ever out of the gate. As such, it's not surprising that...

At this point, every last Vault Dweller and their robodog know that Prime Video’s latest TV show Fallout is a nuclear bomb in the best possible way: not that it bombed, but it positively destroyed the platform’s records with the shock wave. After two weeks of the show’s run, its numbers are phenomenal, and while it’s reason enough to celebrate already, they keep going up with every passing day.
Fallout Becomes Amazon’s New Biggest Thing
Prime Video proudly reports the success of its post-apocalyptic venture. According to the streamer, Fallout has already pulled off over 65M views, making it the second most watched TV show in the platform’s history — and the most watched series ever for the age group of 18–34 years old. This is quite an achievement for just 2 weeks!

Amazon’s Prime Video is cooking after the launch of Fallout, a comedic sci-fi series based on the best-selling Bethesda video game series. After the monumental success of HBO’s The Last of Us, audiences wondered when the subsequent must-see video game adaptation would arrive. According to Prime Video’s numbers, Fallout is the cat’s pajamas, with 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of release. If these mind-blowing numbers are correct, Fallout is the streamer’s second most-watched title after The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
While Prime Video crows about Fallout’s much-deserved popularity, they say it’s the most-watched show ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from overseas. According to the numbers, UK, France, and Brazil audiences love the post-apocalyptic drama, making Fallout an international sensation. Fallout is also a critical darling with a 94% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fallout has become one of Prime Video’s biggest series ever — according to Prime Video.
The well-reviewed show, based on the video game franchise of the same name, has become the second-most-watched title ever on the Amazon streaming service over its first 16 days of release, the company says. Prime Video says 65 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of Fallout since its April 10 premiere, putting the show behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in the streamer’s catalog.
Global audiences have powered a majority of that viewing: More than 60 percent of Fallout’s audience is outside the United States. The (limited) data from Amazon jibes with that from outside sources like Samba TV, Luminate and Reelgood, all of which have tracked a strong start for the series (Nielsen’s streaming data lags by several weeks).

“Fallout” is proving to be far from a (nuclear) bomb for Amazon’s Prime Video.
According to the streamer, the series pulled in 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of availability, with the first season dropping in its entirety on April 10. That makes it the second most-watched title ever on the platform and the most-watched title since the debut on “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022.
Amazon also says the show is its most-watched ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from outside the United States.

Fallout has made quite the impact on Amazon.
The series, which was already renewed for a second season, debuted 16 days ago and has since lassoed more than 65M viewers, making it the second most-watched title ever in that time frame on Prime Video, according to the streamer.
Through 16 days, it’s also the most-watched title on the platform since The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Amazon says the series is particularly well-received among the younger crowd, becoming Prime Video’s most-watched title ever with the 18-34 demographic within 16 days of release.
Fallout is the the top title globally on Prime Video, as the company also touts that 60% of its audience has been based outside the U.S. In particular, it has drawn large viewership from the UK, France, and Brazil.
Amazon renewed Fallout just a week after it launched, saying that it had already drawn outsized viewership.

Lionsgate is planning a May 17th theatrical release for the horror film The Strangers: Chapter 1, and this past weekend they continued their viral marketing approach to promoting the movie. When the South by Southwest festivals were held in Austin, Texas last month, the Strangers were spotted around the city. When the music and arts festival Coachella was going on in Indio, California, the Strangers showed up there, too. Over the weekend, the Stagecoach Festival – which is described as “country music’s biggest party” was also held in Indio… and the Strangers crashed that party as well. A video of the Strangers at Stagecoach can be seen in the embed above, and images of their time at the festival can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Being the most expensive TV show ever made comes with obvious perks, but it also comes with a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, in the case of Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which was released in 2022, those expectations ended up being completely dashed.
While some fans are still hoping and praying that the show will make some changes for its second season and fix all the problems with its character arcs and storytelling, others aren't so positive. Some of the Lord of the Rings fandom is even afraid that the show will be canceled after all the backlash it has received.
But don't let the panic set in just yet. While the reviews of the show speak for themselves, there are plenty of reasons for Prime Video to continue production.
Ring of Power’s Humongous Budget
It's no secret that the show's budget remains one of its most discussed aspects.

In a matter of hours, it appears that the NBA has essentially locked up 2/3 of its domestic broadcast partners — ESPN and Prime Video — for the next decade.
Don’t look now, hoops fans, but the basketball drama is not solely contained to the hardwood, as the NBA’s broadcast rights negotiations are getting increasingly exciting. On Friday afternoon, it was reported that the NBA had essentially agreed to a deal with ESPN for the league’s top-tier broadcast rights, and then, just a few hours later, The Athletic reported that the Association has a framework for a deal with Prime Video. If that framework eventually becomes a signed contract, this would mark the first time that the basketball league has moved nationally available games to a streaming platform.
Key Details: Amazon’s deal will be for a substantial number of games and could include conference championship series games as well.

Zendaya is ready to serve up some love, and a few nasty tennis shots as well in her newest movie “Challengers.” The film has seen its release date bounce around and was due to premiere in theaters in September 2023 before seeing the date shift because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to Friday, April 26, 2024.
Key Facts: “Challengers” has built a 90% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. MGM+ could get the film first, but it’s more likely to make its streaming debut on Prime Video. Fans should expect a wait of at least 100 days before seeing “Challengers” on Prime Video.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the most iconic fantasy series of all time. Being the adaptation of the beloved J. R. R. Tolkien book series of the same name, it brought something new during a time when the genre was already full of magic. On top of the excellent cast, the films have been regarded as masterpieces, featuring excellent cinematography and magnificent world-building.

Lionsgate is planning a May 17th theatrical release for the horror film The Strangers: Chapter 1, and with that date just three weeks away the Motion Picture Association ratings board has announced that they’ve given the film an R rating for “horror violence, language and brief drug use.” That puts it pretty much in line with the ratings to the previous two movies in the Strangers franchise. Released in 2008, The Strangers was rated R for violence/terror and language. The Strangers: Prey at Night followed in 2018 and was rated R for horror violence and terror throughout, and for language.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 was directed by Renny Harlin, who shot an entire trilogy of Strangers movies at the same time. We’ve heard that Lionsgate will also be releasing The Strangers: Chapter 2 and The Strangers: Chapter 3 by the end of the year.

Back in 2009, a horror film called Orphan told us the story of a married couple who adopts a 9-year-old Russian girl only to discover that she’s actually a criminal adult passing herself off as a child. The film was loosely based on the true story of Barbora Skrlova, a 30-something woman who pretended to be a 13-year-old and did some very twisted things that were very different than what we saw in Orphan. In 2012, a sad case that made it into news reports reminded people of Orphan. It was the story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born girl with dwarfism who was adopted by American parents who began to suspect she was much older than records said she was. The Grace case has been covered on Dr. Phil and the docu-series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, and now the Hulu streaming service is moving forward with a Natalia Grace-inspired...

Amazon has leveraged the power of Nielsen ratings for “Thursday Night Football,” and Netflix could do likewise going forward.
After making its first major sports-adjacent deal in its history, there’s officially room to speculate on what sports Netflix could pursue next. Netflix signed a 10-year, $5 billion deal to stream “WWE Raw” starting in 2025 in late January, and industry talking-heads are already wondering what other sports Netflix could go after. But with Netflix’s recent decision to no longer report its subscriber totals to the public, will it still be able to convince sports leagues it wants to partner with that it’s a good potential broadcaster for their games?
Netflix has nearly 270 million customers but will stop reporting its totals publicly in Q1 2025. Company co-ceo Ted Sarandos said Netflix isn’t anti-sports, but pro-growth. Prime Video uses Nielsen ratings to quantify its sports successes, and Netflix could do likewise in the future.

Waiting for The Rings of Power season 2 feels a lot like Gandalf and Pippin looking out from Minas Tirith at the approaching fires of Mordor, a deep breath before the plunge. The Rings of Power season 2 wrapped filming last year and is reportedly slated to hit our screens in 2024, but Amazon has yet to announce a proper release date or tease anything from the new season beside vague hints from cast members last summer (like our interview with Morfydd Clark about what’s next for Galadriel). It’s been a long wait, with the last episode of the series airing in 2022.
But fans shouldn’t take the silence surrounding the second season as a sign that Amazon has cooled on its big-budget Lord of the Rings series. In fact, according to reports, the studio and showrunners Patrick McKay and Jd Payne are already whipping up a third season of the show.

The apocalypse was just the beginning. A week ago, Prime Video unleashed its streaming series adaptation of the ultra-popular Fallout video games – bringing a post-nuclear wasteland filled with vault-dwellers, metal-clad soldiers and irradiated ghouls to fans old and new. And not only has Season 1 been a critical hit, receiving considerable acclaim in reviews and notices as one of the best game-to-screen adaptations, but it’s clearly been a ratings winner for the streamer too. So much so that, within seven days of its entire-season drop, Amazon has committed to more mutant mayhem: Fallout will officially be back for Season 2.
While exact viewership numbers haven’t been revealed, Amazon has confirmed that Fallout is in Prime Video’s top three most-watched series ever, and has been the service’s biggest global hit since The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. “Holy shit,” said showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner in a statement.

Scottish actor Peter Mullan, whose credits include The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Westworld, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, passed through Series Mania in Lille this week, where he participated in what turned out to be one of the festival’s most raucous masterclass sessions.
Mullan appeared alongside French journalist Charlotte Blum, who chaired the session and quizzed the Scotsman on his decades-long career and his philosophy of acting.
“The thing with acting like any form of play is that it’s fun when you are playing,” Mullan said. “A footballer can relive the moment of scoring the goal, but it’s not as much fun as scoring the goal. And it’s the same with acting. You can relive it if you want. You can sit and watch yourself all day long if you want.”

‘After the Party’ in the U.K.
Channel 4 has acquired U.K. rights to the acclaimed New Zealand drama “After the Party” from Lingo Pictures.
The six-part series, co-created by and starring Robyn Malcolm (“Black Bird”), follows Penny Wilding, a mother, teacher and environmental activist, whose life imploded five years earlier after she accused her husband Phil, played by Peter Mullan, of a sex crime and nobody believed her.
When Penny’s now ex-husband returns to town, her daughter pressures her to let go of her accusations and move on. As her old furies rise to the surface, Penny must decide what’s more important – the truth or rebuilding her relationships with the people around her.
Co-created by Dianne Taylor, “After the Party” was produced by Australia’s Lingo Pictures and Luminous Beast in New Zealand as an original commission for New Zealand’s Tvnz in association with and distributed by ITV Studios.

Even after the Covid-19 pandemic has receded, viewers are simply not flocking back to theaters the way studios want.
The theatrical box office has still not recovered from the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year was the first time since 2014 (other than the pandemic years) that Disney did not have a single film pass the $1 billion mark at the box office, but the biggest warning signs for cinema proprietors are coming from a new study performed by HarrisX on behalf of IndieWire. This survey shows that only 34% of adults in the United States prefer to watch movies in theaters, meaning that two-thirds would rather stream them from the comforts of their own homes.
Nearly 50% of respondents said that they stream a movie weekly, seven times as frequently as those who watch in theaters. Ticket costs and the comfort of viewing at home were the most popular reasons for why audiences preferred streaming to theaters.
