Samba TV, a polling company who track the household viewing figures using Smart TV statistics, have revealed that Zack Snyder’s Justice League drew 1.8 million households in its first five minutes over its debut weekend, a figure that leaves it trailing Wonder Woman 1984‘s Christmas Day bow of 2.2 million.
While Justice League couldn’t get the better of one of its own members, there was good news when it came to how it performed against the launch of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which broke the streaming record for Disney+, but fell short of Snyder’s epic with 1.7 million household views.

In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad, and Darkseid, and their dreadful intentions.
