Amazon Prime Video’s superhero series ‘The Boys S3’ premiered on the OTT platform on 3rd June and the highly anticipated eighth and final episode has started streaming from today. The show has made a mark on Nielsen’s weekly top ten streaming charts and is competing with the immensely acclaimed Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’. Which title has topped the coveted list this time? Let’s find out.
As per the latest streaming stats from Nielsen, ‘The Boys’ has generated an impressive 919 million minutes of viewing in the top ten original streaming shows list on Nielsen (for June 6-12 week). However, the show has been outranked by the consistent champ ‘Stranger Things’ by a huge margin. Because ‘Stranger Things’ has once again topped the coveted list with more than a whopping 4.2 billion minutes for the same period. So, ‘The Boys’ holds a distant second spot.
However, the viewing hours for ‘Stranger Things’ has declined by around 40% compared to previous week. It is noteworthy that ‘Stranger Things’ has recently crossed the 1-billion-hour mark as per the Netflix weekly top ten list – the second show to achieve the rare feat after ‘Squid Game’.
Other original shows on the Nielsen top 10 list include the legal drama series ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ (683M minutes), Star Wars-based Disney Plus show ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ (682M minutes), British crime drama ‘Peaky Blinders’ (635M minutes), Jason Bateman and Laura Linney starrer crime drama ‘Ozark’ (568M minutes), and ‘Ms. Marvel’ (249M minutes), etc.
On the movies front, Adam Sandler’s sports drama ‘Hustle’ has topped the latest top ten Nielsen streaming movies list with more than 1.2 billion minutes of viewing. It is followed by another Netflix film ‘Interceptor’ (413M minutes) and Disney’s animated feature ‘Encanto’ (348M minutes).
