Part 4/10:
While House of the Dragon pulled in around 4.8 million households in the first four days, The Rings of Power reportedly gathered only about 1.8 million in the United States during that same period. This stark contrast highlights how much the series has underperformed despite Amazon’s enormous investment—reportedly over a billion dollars for two seasons.
Such numbers are telling, especially considering the show's high-profile nature and its connection to Tolkien’s legendary universe. The disparity fueled speculation that The Rings of Power is struggling to attract and retain viewers, leading to questions about its overall success and the effectiveness of Amazon’s promotional efforts.
