Premiere Volume 2 Stranger Things 4 It was a real international success, and the statistics also confirm this. According to Netflix, the series about the Duffer brothers This is the second film to reach over 1,000 million hours of playback. on the platform behind squid game.
The data is shocking, no doubt. And while it should be taken with the appropriate nuance, it makes it clear that the end of the fourth season has generated huge interest around the world. Based on the platform streaming, Stranger Things 4 accumulated 1,151,240,000 hours of playback.
As we have already mentioned, the only other production that reached the 10 digit number is squid game. The first season of the South Korean series scored relentless 1,650,450,000 hours of playtime on Netflixaccording to the Top 10 disclosed by the company.
Stranger Things 4 wants to record squid game
Big question if Stranger Things 4 may reach or exceed this number. It’s worth noting that the number of hours played that Netflix uses is pretty confusing; the platform displays relevant data in the first 28 days since the release of each series or film. Because some productions have multiple release dates—in some cases due to chapters being released weekly or in volumes—28 days are counted from each episode’s release date in each country.
Thus, more than 1,150,000,000 hours played in Stranger Things 4 They include statistics for the first 28 days of episodes 1 to 7, which premiered on May 27, as well as data for the first 28 days since episodes 8 and 9 were released. Since these last two only debuted on the platform last Friday, July 1, they still have a few days to continue to “inflate” the account and try to overcome squid game.
Another key element—and favorable—for Stranger Things 4 can surpass squid game is its duration. The first season of the South Korean series had nine episodes ranging in length from 50 to 60 minutes, with the exception of chapter 8, which was shorter (only 32 minutes).
In case of staging with Millie Bobby Brown and companies, each delivery lasted more than 60 minutes. In fact, the shortest episode of the fourth season was the third, at one hour and three minutes long. So far the longest was the ninth and last, two hours and 30 minutes.
Thus, if we take into account that the eighth episode Stranger Things 4 lasts one hour and 25 minutes, it takes almost 4 hours to watch volume 2. If the series maintains its good pace in the coming weeks, then it won’t be out of the ordinary to see her break the record today in the hands of squid game.
unforgiving numbers
In addition to all this, we must also take into account that between Monday, June 27, and Sunday, July 3, weird things four scored 301,280,000 hours of playback. And while it’s not stated how many of them correspond to Volume 1 or Volume 2, it’s logical to think that a good part corresponds to the end of the season to coincide with the premiere date.
At the moment, Stranger Things 4 remains first in the ranking of 93 countries; among them are Spain, USA, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.
