House of the Dragon drew approximately 9.98 million viewers during its premiere night in the US alone, with total estimated viewers exceeding 30 million during its first week. By contrast, The Acolyte’s global view count after nearly a week stands at just 11.1 million, a disappointing figure considering Disney's expansive subscriber base of nearly 150 million worldwide.
