Rings of Power: Most successful start ever on Amazon Prime Video

The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power: The Review Bombs Have Hit (1)


from Philip Sattler
It’s no surprise that many people have been waiting for Rings of Power, the new series in the Lord of the Rings universe. However, not everyone expected such a successful start. On the first day, the Amazon production pulverizes Prime Video’s starting record.

Arguably there hasn’t been a series, perhaps apart from House of the Dragon, that has been awaited and awaited by as many people as Rings of Power, the new Amazon production set in the Lord of the Rings universe. This is not only because the stories from Middle-earth fascinate an audience of millions and Peter Jackson’s trilogy is still considered by many to be the best films of all time. The gigantic budget may also have played a role. What can one expect from a series whose 8 episodes is worth US$462 million according to the government of New Zealand, where the first season was filmed?

In addition, there are still 250 million dollars that Amazon had to put on the table for the rights. Needless to say, Rings of Power is by far the most expensive series of all time. But is it also successful because of that? The series had to endure a lot of criticism in advance, which was mainly based on the casting and the increased diversity compared to Lord of the Rings and the literary template. In Rings of Power we not only see dark-skinned elves for the first time, but also a dark-skinned dwarf – without a full beard.
