The one-two punch of movie “Descendants” and new series premiere “Bunk’d” outperformed Disney Channel’s previous “Teen Beach 2” and “Best Friends Whenever” pairing.<\/p>\n

Friday’s “Descendants” premiere drew a total of 6.6 million total viewers. The total, which bests the 5.8 million attracted by the first airing of “Teen Beach 2,” establishes “Descendants” as the most-watched Disney Channel movie since 2013’s “Teen Beach Movie.”<\/p>\n

“Descendants” also ranks as 2015’s #1 cable movie.<\/p>\n

“Bunk’d,” which aired out of “Descendants” drew an impressive 4.2 million viewers for its inaugural airing. The aforementioned “Best Friends Whenever” reached 3.5 million as a “Teen Beach 2” lead-out.<\/p>\n

“Bunk’d” is the most-watched Disney series premiere (and Disney Channel series episode) since “Girl Meets World” drew 5.2 million viewers for its June 2014 opener.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[4697,4698,3753],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "Descendants," "BUNK'D" Outperform "Teen Beach 2," "Best Friends Whenever"<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The one-two punch of movie "Descendants" and new series premiere "Bunk'd" outperformed Disney Channel's previous "Teen Beach 2" and "Best Friends\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/08\/03\/ratings-descendants-bunkd-outperform-teen-beach-2-best-friends-whenever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: "Descendants," "BUNK'D" Outperform "Teen Beach 2," "Best Friends Whenever"\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The one-two punch of movie "Descendants" and new series premiere "Bunk'd" outperformed Disney Channel's previous "Teen Beach 2" and "Best Friends\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/08\/03\/ratings-descendants-bunkd-outperform-teen-beach-2-best-friends-whenever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-08-03T17:09:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-08-03T17:15:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Descendants-e1438621775322.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"499\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/08\/03\/ratings-descendants-bunkd-outperform-teen-beach-2-best-friends-whenever\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/08\/03\/ratings-descendants-bunkd-outperform-teen-beach-2-best-friends-whenever\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: \\\"Descendants,\\\" \\\"BUNK'D\\\" Outperform \\\"Teen Beach 2,\\\" \\\"Best Friends Whenever\\\"\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-08-03T17:09:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-08-03T17:15:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"The one-two punch of movie \\\"Descendants\\\" and new series premiere \\\"Bunk'd\\\" outperformed Disney Channel's previous \\\"Teen Beach 2\\\" and \\\"Best Friends\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/08\/03\/ratings-descendants-bunkd-outperform-teen-beach-2-best-friends-whenever\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
