“Bridgerton” had a predictably massive week on Luminate’s weekly viewership rankings, landing as the No. 1 streaming original for June 14-20. In the first full week of availability of Season 3’s last four episodes, the season was watched for 3.1 billion minutes. The earlier seasons of “Bridgerton” continued to see solid viewership, with Season 1 landing at No. 4 with 297.8 million minutes watched and Season 2 taking No. 9 with 255.6 million minutes watched.
“The Boys” was the second-most-watched title of the week following its Season 4 debut. The June 14-20 window marked the first full week of availability of the season’s first three episodes plus the first day of availability for Episode 4; during that time, the season was watched for a strong 744.4 million minutes. Episodes will continue to release weekly on Thursdays, so it’s likely that the Amazon superhero series will remain on the chart for weeks to come.
Season 2 of Netflix’s “Perfect Match” rose from No. 4 in its debut week to No. 3. The dating series was not far behind “The Boys,” with 650.5 million minutes watched. The rest of the chart saw a steep drop off, with each title clocking in between 240 and 300 million minutes watched.
“Eric” charted again at No. 5 with 291.6 million minutes watched. Behind it, Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” made its chart debut, followed by another week of “The Acolyte” on Disney+ and the debut of Peacock’s “Love Island” Season 6. After “Bridgerton” Season 2, Season 3 of “Sweet Tooth” was the 10th TV title.
On the film side, “Hit Man” was most-watched for the second week in a row with 636.2 million minutes watched. “Brats,” the Hulu documentary about the Brat Pack, debuted with 264.6 million minutes watched.
Other debuts were “Ultraman: Rising” at No. 4 with 217 million minutes watched and “Mysteries of the Terracotta Warriors” at No. 5 with 123.4 million minutes watched, both on Netflix. The rest of the chart was populated by repeat titles: “Under Paris” at No. 2, as well as “Atlas,” “How to Rob a Bank,” “Mother of the Bride,” “Luca” and “Die Hart 2: Die Harter” lower down.
