The Season 2 finale of Marvel Studios’ Loki opened with a bang, drawing 11.2 million viewers worldwide in three days, a 3% increase over the three-day draw of the first episode of Season 2 of 10, 9 million equivalent.
Loki’s Season 2 premiere was the second most-watched season premiere on Disney+ this year, behind The Mandalorian’s Season 3 premiere in March.
The Marvel Studios series finale, which concluded last Thursday, trailed only the Season 3 finale of The Mandalorian, which ended its season in April.
Loki’s popularity remained consistent throughout the season, with each episode of the series receiving over 11 million views in its premiere weeks, Disney reports.
Disney defines a view as the total stream time divided by the run time.
Deadline’s Katie Campione reported a few weeks ago that the first episode of Loki’s second season came in at No. 6 in the Nielsen rankings, generating 446 million minutes. For comparison: the series premiered in June 2021 and achieved 731 million viewing minutes in the first week.
In the season two finale, Loki realizes that the Temporal Loom will never be able to keep all branches of time safe. In the final moments of the episode, he uses his own powers to revive and hold together all the branches of time in the Citadel at the end of time.
The Season 2 finale also paved the way for the rest of the MCU’s multiverse saga, with other Kang the Conqueror variants continuing to exist across different timelines.
While Disney+ enjoyed a peak with the Loki finale, the Marvel Cinematic Universe experienced its lowest grossing performance ever at the domestic and global box office: The Marvels opened to $46.1 million in the US and $109 million on the web. $4 million.
