‘Ghosted,’ starring Ana de Armas and Chris Evans becomes most watched film debut in Apple TV+ history

In Ghosted, salt-of-the-earth Cole (Chris Evans) falls head over heels for enigmatic Sadie (Ana de Armas) — but then makes the shocking discovery that she’s a secret agent. Before they can decide on a second date, Cole and Sadie are swept away on an international adventure to save the world.

Anthony D’Alessandro for Deadline:

Skydance’s spy action comedy, Ghosted, is the most watched movie debut to date in Apple TV+ history per Samba TV.

In the pic’s first two days after dropping on April 21 -and we hear viewership has continued to swell into Monday and Tuesday- the Dexter Fletcher directed movie pulled in 328,5K. That’s more than the first two days of other highly viewed Apple TV+ movies including Finch (Nov. 5, 2021 debut) at 228,500, Spirited (Nov. 18, 2022) at 174,000, Tetris (March 31) at 88,000 and My Mind & Me (Nov 4, 2022) at 78,100.

We’re also hearing that the completion rate for Ghosted is 20% above Apple TV+’s average rate.

MacDailyNews Take: Despite, let’s be nice, lukewarm-at-best reviews, Ghosted once again proves the power of star-driven films, in this case de Armas and Evans. Another win for Apple TV+!
