Streaming Ratings Oct. 21-27, 2024
Streaming viewers in the week of Oct. 21-27 made the following decision: We have to go back.
Viewing of Lost on Hulu and Netflix hit a high that week, finishing first among all acquired series with 1.03 billion minutes of viewing time in the United States, according to Nielsen. The former ABC series, which marked the 20th anniversary of its premiere in September, ranked second among all titles.
In first place was The Lincoln Lawyer, which spent a second week in the top overall spot and got over the 2 billion-minute mark (2.03 billion) for the first time in its three seasons. The drama based on Michael Connelly’s novels improved by about 24 percent week to week.
Tyler Perry’s Netflix series Beauty in Black was the top newcomer, scoring 740 million minutes of watch time for its opening week (it premiered Oct. 24). That was good for third among original series behind The Lincoln Lawyer and Love Is Blind (866 million minutes). The Yellowstone-flavored Australian drama Territory also made its chart debut with 429 million viewing minutes for Netflix.
Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, Woman of the Hour (in which she also stars), led the movie rankings for the second week in a row with 653 million viewing minutes. That was a 17.5 percent improvement on its premiere week.
