Palmer is the first Apple TV+ original to have broken into Reelgood's top 5 most-watched over any given weekend in 2021 so far. The last time the streaming service was represented in our weekend rankings was 3 months ago -- when On The Rocks ranked fifth among the top 100 most-watched movies for Nov 6-8, 2020.
It should be noted that Reelgood's rankings are based on engagement data from its 2+ million users in the United States, so these rankings don't reflect a global audience or the industry as a whole. However, it is notable that Apple TV+ originals are experiencing success at this level in any reporting available.
Apple, like any of its services, has not released exact metrics on how its streaming service, or the individual properties within it, are performing. Apple TV+ gets lumped into the rest of the company's services offerings in its quarterly reporting.
