The movie, which premiered on Disney+, topped two other high-profile premieres during Christmas week: Drama series
Bridgerton and George Clooney's feature film
The Midnight Sky, both on Netflix.
Wonder Woman 1984 also premiered on Christmas on HBO Max, but Nielsen's streaming measurement doesn't currently include that platform, and WarnerMedia doesn't release viewership data for HBO Max.
Soul captured about 1.67 billion minutes of viewing time — the equivalent of almost 16.7 million full runs of the 100-minute film.
Bridgerton (1.2 billion minutes) and
The Midnight Sky (1.11 billion) claimed the third and fourth spots on the chart behind
The Office, whose last full week on Netflix before moving to Peacock delivered 1.44 billion minutes of viewing time.
