Disney+ movies get a new teen comedy. “Thor: Love and Thunder”And “Pinocchio”2 and No. 2, and No. 2 and No.
Rumors of Netflix’s demise may have been greatly exaggerated. That’s clear when looking at the top 10 most-streamed movies of the past weekend, at least according to Whip Media’s U.S. movie ranker, which reflects data from the past weekend from TV Time, a TV and movie app that tracks viewer interest across 22 million global registered users.
The main takeaway is that six of the top ten most-viewed movies in America were found on Netflix. And the top performer of the week — bumping Disney+’s “Thor: Love and Thunder”From the No. 1 spot — was Netflix’s “Do Revenge,”This is the latest teen comedy featuring Austin Abrams, Maya Hawke, and Camila Mendes.

If you’re a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, you might want to check “Do Revenge”It was also inspired by his 1951 classic “Strangers on a Train.” In this revenge story — albeit, one with lower stakes than Hitchcock’s — high schooler Drea seeks payback on her boyfriend for sharing her sex tape. Meanwhile, new exchange student Eleanor is terrorized by a rumor at school — so the two teens join up to get their revenge.
Bis now, “Do Revenge” hasn’t just been a hit with viewers, either — two-thirds of critics on MetacriticPositive reviews.
“Thor: Love and Thunder”And “Pinocchio,”During their second week on Disney+, however, both movies kept their momentum going. Both movies only dropped one spot each on Whip Media’s ranker, with “Thor: Love and Thunder” grabbing the silver medal and Robert Zemeckis’ “Pinocchio”Third place for the weekend.
“Elvis”Also, HBO Max continues to do well. The fourth most-viewed movie was The King’s biopic, which starred Austin Butler as the lead role, and Tom Hanks playing Colonel Tom Parker the calculating manager. Those two weeks come after “Elvis”debuted at No. 1 spot on Whip Media’s ranker during the first week of September, when it first became available.

Here’s where Netflix’s big weekend really kicked in: Five of the remaining six flicks on Whip Media’s ranker were on Netflix, including “Morbius,”This week, it fell to the fifth overall slot by two spots.
Netflix Originals are responsible for three of the last remaining Netflix movies “Me Time,”Kevin Hart-Mark Wahlberg buddy humor; “End of the Road,”A horror-thriller featuring Queen Latifah and Ludacris about a disastrous cross-country journey. “Love in the Villa,” a recently released rom-com from director/writer Mark Steven Johnson.
Four of the top 10 Netflix movies were original productions. And that isn’t a huge surprise, considering Netflix has moved away from licensing movies from other studios in recent years as many companies have opted to keep more of their content for their own streaming services.
Additional Information “Morbius,” the other non-Netflix Original that made the ranker was Tom Holland’s “Uncharted,”This was released earlier in the year. It’s been a steady performer for Netflix since hitting the service last month, appearing in Whip Media’s Top 10 in five of the last six weeks.
And for the second week in a row, Peacock’s lone entrant into the Top 10 was “Jurassic World: Dominion.”Peacocks should see a significant boost over the weekend. “Minions: The Rise of Gru”The service will be available on Friday. It’ll be worth checking back next week to see if it can push “Do Revenge”It is the highest spot.
