# of views of MrBeast video week 1?
MrBeast’s next full upload is much more likely to clear 40 million views in its first week than to stay below it. The market’s Yes price looks directionally right, and I assign a high probability to No being wrong because recent launches have repeatedly opened in the tens of millions within days.
Analysis
The available evidence points to a strong opening trajectory for MrBeast’s next video, not a weak one. Recent uploads have reached enormous first-week totals, with one recent branded video at 76.7 million views and another at 64.0 million, while broader coverage notes several flagship uploads clearing 100 million views in seven days or less. A first-week threshold of 40 million is therefore below the level MrBeast has recently been able to reach when a video performs normally or above normal for his channel.
The most important live signal in the context is the companion day-2 market, which was clustered around 19–22 million views in the first 48 hours. That is already more than halfway to 40 million before the first week is over, so even a moderate post-48-hour slowdown would still leave substantial room to finish above the threshold. MrBeast’s own stated channel scale, including roughly 4 billion monthly views and 12 billion views in 90 days, also supports the idea that his uploads still have enough reach and algorithmic momentum to finish far above 40 million when the launch is strong.
Arguments for Yes mostly rely on the possibility that this particular upload decays faster than his recent flagship videos, or that it is unusually front-loaded in the first 48 hours. That risk is real because the market is specifically about week 1 rather than day 2, and view curves can flatten sharply after the initial burst. However, the historical pattern in the provided sources suggests that MrBeast’s major uploads often continue compounding well beyond the opening two days, and recent headlines showing 46 million views in 24 hours and 52 million in under 24 hours for comparable uploads make a sub-40 million week-1 result look atypical rather than likely.
The market price of 0.832 for Yes implies traders already see a very high chance that the video stays under 40 million, but that appears to be inconsistent with the recent performance range cited in the sources. On the evidence provided, the more plausible outcome is that the video finishes comfortably above 40 million in week 1, with the main uncertainty being whether it lands in the 40–60 million band or substantially higher if it catches unusually strong traction after launch.
Arguments
For
- Arguments for Yes: The current evidence from recent uploads suggests MrBeast can still exceed 40 million views in just a few days, making a sub-40 million week much less likely.
- Arguments for Yes: The day-2 view trajectory appears strong enough that only an unusually steep decay would keep the seven-day total below the threshold.
Against
- Arguments against Yes: The recent comp set includes multiple videos that reached far beyond 40 million in the first week, which argues strongly against a low-ceiling outcome.
- Arguments against Yes: Market and media context both suggest the video is opening from a very high baseline, so the default expectation is a finish above 40 million.
Key drivers
- Recent MrBeast uploads have repeatedly posted very large first-week totals well above 40 million views.
- The day-2 market signal around 19–22 million views suggests the video is already on a path that could exceed 40 million by week 1.
- MrBeast’s overall channel scale remains exceptionally large, supporting continued high reach for major uploads.
Risk factors
- A sharp post-launch slowdown could leave the video below 40 million if the opening burst is unusually front-loaded.
- If the video is less broadly viral than recent flagship uploads, its week-1 total could underperform the recent high-end pattern.
Scenarios
Best case
The video follows a recent breakout pattern, sustains strong recommendation momentum, and lands well above 40 million by the end of week 1, potentially reaching the 60–100 million range or higher.
Most likely
The video finishes above 40 million in week 1, likely somewhere comfortably above the cutoff, with the exact total depending on how quickly views taper after the first 48 hours.
Worst case
The video sees a huge initial burst but rapidly fades after day 2, ending below 40 million and resolving to Yes.

I put the chance that NVIDIA finishes July 31 as the second-largest company at 24%, slightly above the current market price because NVIDIA has recently traded near or above Apple and could hold the spot if momentum persists.
