Stranger Things season 4 outperformed all our expectations but did it win over a twenty year old franchise

Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Stranger Things 4 – Who Is Leading the Showdown?

May spoiled us all. We had two of the most awaited shows from the most popular
franchises drop in a single month. It was a fans’ dream come true to watch
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stranger Things in the same week. A binge-watchers paradise.
However, their releases are not only important to the fans but to their
respective studios. A lot is riding on these two highly talked about shows, and
their studios desperately want them to perform well.

But we can have only one winner. And the success of these two shows will
determine the kind of numbers Disney and Netflix will have in their coming
quarters. Let us try to see which show will win the battle of viewers.


STRANGER THINGS OR OBI-WAN KENOBI WHICH WON THE BATTLE OF STREAMERS?

The number of new customers that Obi-Wan and Stranger Things can attract for
their respective services is far more important than any other criteria.

Following Netflix’s awful Q1
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-did-netflix-lose-subscribers-to-inflation/]
and all that followed, executives will likely be hoping that Stranger Things may
help the firm beat its grim Q2 estimate, which expected a two million-plus
membership loss.

Meanwhile, Disney is attempting to avoid a similar fate by maintaining Disney+
[https://www.disneyplus.com/]‘s strong growth trajectory and demonstrating that
it can reach 250 million users by 2024.  Expect to hear Obi-Wan and Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] mentioned several times
when the firms release their next quarterly results, especially if the results
are positive.


BOTH SHOWS HAVE AN INTENSE FAN FOLLOWING

There is no doubt that both the shows in question have one of the biggest
fandoms in the world. Stranger Things fans literally broke the internet
[https://netflixjunkie.com/many-netflix-users-report-network-error-as-stranger-things-fans-rush-to-stream-season-4-right-at-the-moment-of-its-release/]
upon the new season’s release. And as for Obi-Wan, fans of the character and the
Star Wars series span well over two decades and have only grown since.

In fact, the Star Wars fan base grew even larger when The Mandalorian started
streaming. It broke the 10 billion viewing record for Disney. But it also raises
the question of how more Star Wars fans will subscribe to the OTT platform, as
almost all are already subscribing to it.

To say which show will do better or which show will fetch more subscribers is
hard to say right now. Both the shows have been streaming for less than a week
now and have a long way to go before results can be declared.

However, one thing is for certain fans of both the franchises will not miss out
on watching the shows. Which surely will benefit the streamers.

What do you guys think? In the battle for eyeballs and views, which streamer
will emerge victorious? Feel free to share your predictions with us in the
comments.
