I'm surprised considering HBO was free for the weekend

Doesn't really matter tho, people bought the album and that's what the movie was promoting

Yes it was free but it was not as if you can just turn the channel to it for free.

It was free online, if you downloaded the mobile app, then registered it and then you could watch on your computer.

Yeah to be fair there were like 55k people on that streaming site when it was taken down by BeyNation. There were probably 100k+ streaming online

far from impressive, but ok i guess. anyway, very irrelevant.

It was free this weekend on DirecTV (along with Cinemax).

Great considering a lot of people like myself did a viewing party with friends vs each of us with our individual tv sets watching GOT at home.

that's not how they calculate viewers

[Golowhore]

I think the main reason it's relatively low is because what was being advertised was so vague. If not for the internet hype and hints, I wouldn't have given a **** about a "live event" or whatever they called it.

But once people knew there was an album involved, almost as many people in 4 days are set to drop $18 on it...

So basically everyone who watched bought the album that's promo that works guys

Congrats Bey

I was just thinking this!

The expert said solid. That's it.

Got did same number as previous season with free weekend.

And it was not promoted a lot to GP.
1 week notice with no revealing of its story or what it is.

Also It's just different demographic and consumption.
The fact that sunday air didn't make the list says all.

[Surfboardt]

So nobody's going to use common sense and think of the fact that nobody watches TV on Saturdays, ergo shows not airing on Saturdays?

Alright, educate me.

[Retro]

For having a week's notice and no explanation as to what it even was, this is fine.

[BnPac]

Great. That way people can't blame the success of the album on it. Beyoncé's stans watched and then bought the album.

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Nielson doesn't count the free subscribers.

[Womanizah]

It wasn't free for me. I had to watch on a few Periscope streams.

This, and it wasn't free for Comcast - the largest provider in the country.

I would like to see the on demand, HBOGo, and HBO Now numbers as well.

Is everyone ignoring the viewers for the repeat on Sunday? It pulled an additional 715k on Sunday. That's a total of 1.5M viewers for the weekend.
