One week after taking over the Nielsen streaming throne, Young Sheldon was ousted by Leave the World Behind.
Sam Esmail’s apocalyptic thriller debuted on December 8 and, as has been proven by Netflix‘s own data over the past month, it has been incredibly popular. From December 4 to December 10, the film racked up 1.9B viewing minutes among U.S. audiences despite only being available for three days in the measurement period.
Leave the World Behind is well on its way to becoming one of Netflix’s most popular English-language movies of all time, so expect it to stick around the Nielsen charts through the December measurement periods, at the very least.
Young Sheldon dipped slightly in viewership after three weeks on Netflix, but it still managed 1.6B viewing minutes, putting it at second place overall. The comedy series has had a Suits-esque revival since becoming the latest Max library title to make its way to Netflix. However, it is much shorter than the USA Network legal drama, so its domination of the streaming charts is likely to be over quicker.
Speaking of Suits, the series fought its way back on the overall Top 10 after falling off the week prior for the first time in about six months. The series mustered 679M viewing minutes, which is still an incredibly large viewing time, especially considering how long the series has been putting up numbers well above this. It tied with Nielsen streaming chart regular NCIS.
The Super Mario Bros. movie was the third of four titles to surpass a billion minutes with 1.3B. Squid Game: The Challenge was the final title to claim the milestone with just over a billion minutes viewed.
Netflix’s new series Obliterated has also been hovering on the Top 10 this week coming in at No. 5 with 917M viewing minutes. Rounding out the list were Grey’s Anatomy, Bluey and Candy Cane Lane.
Here is the full Top 10, with streaming service, title, number of episodes (“1″=feature film) and minutes of viewing:
