Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ Debut Ratings: Worse Than ‘Longmire,’ Better Than ‘Bloodline’ (Exclusive)
Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ Debut Ratings:

The original series debuted to just 496,000 total viewers over its opening weekend, according to Symphony Advanced Media data that was provided exclusively to TheWrap.

Symphony measures viewership through audio recognition software found in a panelist’s cell phone.
Hulu first appears at No. 9 for the premiere of “11.22.63,” while Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle” tops that platform at No. 22 overall.
Readers are probably wondering which show measured by Symphony AM had the worst debut viewership.
“The Crown” reportedly had a $130 million production budget, which would make it the most expensive TV show ever.
