Amazon did not report viewership figures for their $200M Skydance acquisition title _THE TOMORROW WAR, _but third-party streaming analytics corp Samba TV did, and the Chris Pratt movie drew

2.41M U.S. HOUSEHOLDS during the 4-day holiday weekend. The previous 3-day weekend viewership for Amazon movies _Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, _another Skydance pick-up by the streamer, and

_Borat Subsequent Moviefilm _was respectively 2.3M and 1.6M over three days. Amazon has previously reported that their Eddie Murphy acquisition _Coming 2 America _was their biggest weekend

premiere ever, but nobody knows the numbers on that; Samba TV also didn’t measure that pic’s first weekend. Amazon also reported that _Borat 2_‘s first weekend was watched by “tens of

millions” whatever that means. On the plus side, _Tomorrow War_‘s weekend viewership beats the first four days of HBO Max’s _Justice League: The Snyder Cut _which attracted 1.8M households

stateside. WATCH ON DEADLINE Samba TV measures streaming viewership in 3M U.S. terrestrial Smart TV households for those who tuned in for at least five minutes. The US audience for _The

Tomorrow War_ skewed middle class ($75K-100K incomes +8.9%) and Black (+10%) and of the 25 largest DMAs, Portland over-indexed the most (+50%). Last summer, Netflix reported that the 4-week

global cumulative households for Skydance’s Charlize Theron action movie clocked in at 72M, the service’s 6th-most-watched feature to date. Deadline first reported that _Tomorrow War _was

Amazon’s third pricey acquisition from Paramount after _Coming 2 America _($125M) and _Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse._ _The Tomorrow War _launched in 240 countries and territories on Prime

watch in theaters, strictly HBO Max; brought in 567K U.S. HOUSEHOLDS over four-days.  That figure is below the 3-day draw of HBO Max’s _In the Heights _which was a dud for the service and in
