RATINGS: CONSTANTINE Debuts With Solid Numbers Despite Competition From World Series
Constantine finally made its debut on NBC last night, and despite some stiff competition from the World Series, the DC Comics adaptation had a solid start! However, it's going to be next week when we get a better idea of whether it has serious staying power. Hit the jump for details!
According to Variety, Constantine debuted on NBC last night with solid numbers despite the World Series cutting into the viewers for this and many other shows. Early numbers indicate a 1.4 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 and 4.3 million viewers overall at 10pm. That means it retained over 90% of its demo lead in from the season four premiere of Grimm. That did a little better last year, as did the then new show Dracula (that had 5.3 million viewers in total). That fell to a 0.9 rating the following week, so if the same happens to Constantine on Friday, that could be a sign it won't survive. Hopefully that's not the case as reviews have been mostly positive so far and the fact that it held steady during its second half is a good sign. Will you guys be tuning in next week?
