The most expensive series of all time is a terrific flop

According to inside sources, Amazon is seeing extremely disappointing ratings for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Despite the huge budget, the fantasy series could not inspire many viewers in the long term. A hard blow for the online giant.

Amazon has made the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power cost a lot – the first season of the fantasy epic had a budget of almost 500 million US dollars. It is all the more bitter for the online giant that, according to insiders, the production can boast a disastrous completion rate. Less than half of all viewers lasted until the final episode.

Amazon’s The Rings of Power is losing viewers in droves

A report from The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has seen viewer ratings plummet after a strong start. Of the viewers who streamed the first episode stayed in the US only 37 percent left in the end. In other regions, the series achieved a so-called completion rate of 45 percent.

We’ll tell you what to expect in Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power:

A completion rate of 50 percent would have been solid, but by no means outstanding, according to the report, but the series failed to keep even half the audience engaged. The completion rate is often an important value for many streaming services in order to decide whether a series will be canceled or renewed. According to the English company Digital I will Series with a rate of less than 50 percent on Netflix are often discontinued, such as the adaptation of Resident Evil, which also only achieved 45 percent. Groundbreaking series hits, on the other hand, have a significantly higher value – Squid Game, for example, can record a completion rate of 87 percent. (Source: WhatsOnNetflix)

The Lord of the Rings: Amazon series continues

It is already known that Amazon will not drop the Lord of the Rings series – the second season is already in the works and will probably premiere in 2024. Fans can only hope that the series will then be able to establish a better completion rate, because Amazon certainly expected more given the high development costs. (Source: movie theater)

Amazon Prime Video also has a lot of room for improvement in other respects:
