Disney+ soars into 1st place with ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ capturing the highest MPV™ of an individual title, whilst HBO Max’s ‘The Last of Us’ overtakes Peacock’s ‘Yellowstone’ to claim 2nd place.
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ roars on the digital storefronts
The launch of Disney+’s ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ did not disappoint us in February, claiming an impressive MPV™ score in the U.S. and being the Top Title of the month with an assortment of outrageously eye-catching Top Placements, while also dominating the rest of the major platforms globally.
With bold text, vibrant and star-studded visuals, Limited-Time offers and the Disney+ logo making it clear to users Where to Watch it, no heads could be turned away from this title.

The title was also seen to be used at the forefront of several Black History Month promotions in the US and CA, an important celebration that unfortunately did not receive its deserved prominence across the digital storefronts this year compared to last.

The Disney+ domino effect
The likes of Disney+, Paramount+, HBO Max and Discovery+ are all puffing out their content filled chests this month on Apple TV US, with refreshed artwork in the Top Carousel of Apple TV’s ‘Apps’ tab to display an updated array of characters from their slate. Disney+ started this movement first however, and continue to dominate in all content slate related promotions.
