Most Trending Movie & Show on Each Platform
Netflix
Movie: 72 Hours | Show: Ransom Canyon.
72 Hours is the clearest Netflix movie winner: Netflix says the Kevin Hart comedy held No. 1 for a second consecutive week. In the latest available U.S. daily chart snapshot, 72 Hours was also the No. 1 movie and Ransom Canyon the No. 1 show, giving both titles sustained momentum rather than a one-day spike.
Prime Video
Movie: Project Hail Mary | Show: Ride or Die.
Project Hail Mary has shown unusually strong staying power, ranking No. 1 among Prime Video movies in the latest platform-specific U.S. chart available to our research, while Ride or Die occupied the No. 1 TV position. Both titles also demonstrate longevity in the chart rather than simply benefiting from release-day curiosity.
Disney+
Movie: Descendants: Wicked Wonderland | Show: Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston.
The latest U.S.-specific Disney+ chart snapshot puts Descendants: Wicked Wonderland at No. 1 among movies and Pompeii at No. 1 among shows. Descendants is benefiting from Disney’s established family franchise audience, while the Tom Hiddleston-led documentary is proving that nonfiction programming can compete strongly with scripted franchises.
Hulu
Movie: My Grandfather Charles Manson | Show: King of the Hill.
My Grandfather Charles Manson shot near the top of Hulu’s chart shortly after arriving, reflecting the continuing appetite for true-crime programming. The bigger developing story, however, is King of the Hill: its new season reached No. 1 on Hulu’s “Top 15 Today” after its August 4 premiere, making the animated revival one of this week’s clearest breakout streaming stories.
HBO Max (Max)
Movie: Mortal Kombat II | Show: House of the Dragon.
Mortal Kombat II leads the latest broader HBO Max movie chart available, while House of the Dragon remains the service’s dominant series. Its ability to stay ahead of titles such as Rick and Morty illustrates how strongly HBO’s franchise programming continues to drive streaming engagement.
Apple TV+
Movie: The Instigators | Show: Silo.
Apple’s movie library behaves differently from platforms with large licensed catalogs, and The Instigators remains the strongest movie signal in the latest U.S. chart available. Silo is the more important story: it held the No. 1 U.S. Apple TV series position in the latest platform chart, ahead of Lucky and Ted Lasso.
Peacock
Movie: Obsession | Show: The Five-Star Weekend.
Obsession ranked No. 1 among Peacock movies in the latest U.S. platform chart, while The Five-Star Weekend held No. 1 among shows. The latter’s extended run near the top suggests sustained audience interest rather than just premiere-week sampling.
Paramount+
Movie: Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender | Show: Criminal Minds.
The latest U.S. Paramount+ chart puts Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender at No. 1 among movies, while library powerhouse Criminal Minds leads the TV chart. The contrast is notable: a new franchise-driven movie is creating discovery while an established procedural continues generating dependable repeat viewing.
Weekly Trend Takeaway
Familiar worlds are winning — but not exclusively. Franchises and established IP remain extremely powerful, from Descendants and House of the Dragon to King of the Hill and Avatar. Yet Netflix’s 72 Hours, Prime Video’s Ride or Die and Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend show that viewers are still willing to embrace newer titles when they generate enough momentum.
The most interesting shift this week may be revival and library viewing. King of the Hill immediately reached Hulu’s No. 1 position after returning, while Criminal Minds continues outperforming newer programming on Paramount+. Streaming success increasingly appears to be a mix of the newest release, recognizable IP and highly rewatchable catalog television—not simply whichever platform premiered the biggest original that week.
