‘Encanto’ Extends Winning Streak for Disney+ on Streaming Chart

Walt Disney Animation’s family entry Encanto continued to top Nielsen’s movie streaming chart for the Jan. 24-30 week with a hearty 1.4 billion minutes viewed on Disney+.

The animated film also stayed at No. 2 on Nielsen’s overall streaming chart for the final week of January behind the original Netflix series Ozark, which secured a two-year Nielsen high.

Encanto has been a powerhouse since first premiering on Disney+ over the year-end holidays, and wasn’t down dramatically from the previous week (Jan. 17-23), when it scored 1.5 billion minutes viewed.

Roughly 40 percent of Encanto‘s viewership continued to come from those between the ages of 2 and 11, and 25 percent from Hispanic homes, according to Nielsen.
