Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall’s “Coming to America” sequel, Amazon Prime Video’s “Coming 2 America,” topped all streaming programs in its debut week (March 1, 2021 – March 7, 2021) with 1.413 billion (yes, with a “B”) total minutes viewed, according to Nielsen. The giant “Coming 2 America” opening handed Amazon its first No. 1 slot on Nielsen’s Top 10.
No. 2 overall on the new Nielsen sheets was Netflix original series “Ginny & Georgia,” which amassed nearly 1.2 billion minutes viewed.
“Coming 2 America” bowed on March 4, 2021, so the 1.4 billion tally only counts four days of viewership.
