It’s looking like Amazon’s bet on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans paid off. Prime Video’s “Red One” secured 2.1 billion minutes in the second week of December, topping Nielsen’s list of the Top 10 overall most streamed shows and movies.
The Christmas movie was followed by two Netflix titles: “Carry-On” and “Black Doves.” The Taron Egerton action thriller secured 1.69 billion minutes streamed during its opening weekend as the movie premiered on Dec. 13. As for “Black Doves,” the spy thriller starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire saw 1 billion minutes during its second week of being available to stream.
Netflix contributed to three more of the most watched titles during the week of Dec. 9, the first being the controversial Blake Lively movie “It Ends With Us.” Director Justin Baldoni’s adaptation of teh Colleen Hoover novel of the same name secured fourth place on Nielsen’s list with 977 million minutes streamed. Liz Feldman’s dark comedy starring Linda Cardellini also placed on the list, landing in sixth place with 883 million minutes streamed. Finally, “Grey’s Anatomy” once again made the list this week, securing 803 million minutes streamed as well as the No. 8 spot on the list.
Other regular additions were “Bluey” and Fox’s animation kings, “Bob’s Burgers” and “Family Guy.” The critically-acclaimed children’s series came in fifth place with 905 million minutes streamed during the week in question. As for “Bob’s Burgers” and “Family Guy,” they came in ninth (743 million minutes) and 10th place (730 million minutes), respectively. Both are available to stream on Hulu.
“Landman” also returned to list during its sixth week, seeing 826 million minutes streamed and settling in seventh place. That’s a drop from the series’ third place ranking the previous week. However, a Paramount+ title placing on the list is notable overall as Nielsen’s Top 10 Overall is often dominated by Netflix and Hulu titles.
