A new X post from What’s on Netflix indicates that more people watched Sony’s box office flop “Madame Web” on Netflix in the first two weeks than they watched Marvel’s “Deadpool and Wolverine” on Disney+. According to the Nielsen metrics, 16 million watched “Madame Web” and 200k less watched “Deadpool & Wolverine” (15.8 million.)

Is this even true?

Not according to Disney, who claimed that “Deadpool and Wolverine” got 19.4 million views in its first six days on Disney+.

Disney defines a “view” as total stream time divided by runtime. Netflix defined “a view” as two minutes watched.

The key here is that this information is only from the viewpoint of Neilsen and not from the streaming service.
