Halloween Ends does some Peacocking on the digital storefronts
Peacock stole the show on the digital storefronts with its highly anticipated slasher New Release ‘Halloween Ends’ being its top performing title, securing the best real estate to shout about the release ahead of Halloween day itself. The title achieved an impressive MPV score of 1,313, which contributed to 9% of Peacock’s total MPV for the month
With the iconic horror duo, ‘Michael Myers’ and Jamie Lee Curtis’s ‘Laurie Strode’ at the forefront of huge promotional takeovers, it was the perfect temptation for viewers to dive into the Peacock TV App to stream and get in the mood for spooky season
