Peacock saw growth in the 4-week period but experienced the sharpest decrease in WoW DAUs for the period ended Oct 24 (-14% WoW).
Key Takeaways:
Per Sensor Tower estimates, Netflix and Hulu DAU growth has fallen 17% and 5% YoY on average, respectively, for the 4 weeks ended 11/20/2022
Amazon Prime Video weakness continues with DAUs down 4% on average YoY (4 weeks ended 11/20/2022)
Disney+, Paramount+ and HBO Max saw the most robust growth in DAUs over the past four weeks (compared to 2021), up 23%, 29% and 69% YoY on average, respectively, while Peacock was up 5% in the same time period
Though Peacock saw growth in the 4-week period, it experienced the sharpest decrease in WoW DAUs for the period ended Oct 24 (-14% WoW), perhaps driven downwards by users who only opened the app to watch the popular Halloween Ends (streaming beginning Oct 14) and then promptly ghosted the service
