Pixar's Hoppers holds Nielsen streaming charts

Nielsen released its official U.S. streaming charts for the week of June 8 to June 14, 2026, and the numbers tell a clear story : Disney+ continues to dominate across multiple categories, with Pixar's latest theatrical release, Hoppers, landing right at the center of the conversation. Whether you track what's available on which platform or simply follow what audiences actually watch, this weekly snapshot is one of the most reliable indicators of real viewing behavior.

Pixar's Hoppers holds its ground on the Nielsen movie chart

Hoppers pulled in 663 million minutes viewed during that single week, making it the second most-watched film across all streaming platforms in the U.S. What makes this performance notable is the context : the movie had already topped the movie chart the previous week with over a billion minutes viewed. Holding onto second place after that kind of peak is, frankly, solid staying power.

The film landed just behind Maternal Instinct (Netflix, 665 million minutes), a margin so thin it barely counts as a gap. Below it, Office Romance on Netflix pulled 545 million minutes, a more significant drop. Here's a quick look at the full Top 10 Movies chart for that week :

Disney+ actually placed two films in the top six, with Zootopia 2 sitting at position six.

Pixar's streaming momentum right now is hard to ignore.

Disney+'s grip on the acquired and overall charts

Beyond films, Disney's footprint on the acquired content chart is striking. Bluey led that category with 958 million minutes, cementing its status as one of the most consistently watched shows on any platform. Grey's Anatomy followed with 882 million minutes across Hulu/Disney+ and Netflix combined, a remarkable figure for a series that premiered back in 2005.

The acquired chart also featured several other Disney-distributed titles :

• Criminal Minds (Hulu/Disney+ | Paramount+ | Pluto TV) : 649 million minutes
• Bob's Burgers (Hulu/Disney+) : 588 million minutes
• Family Guy (Hulu/Disney+) : 538 million minutes

That's four titles in the acquired top ten tied directly to Disney's distribution network. The strategy of spreading content across Hulu and Disney+ clearly generates cumulative viewership that individual platforms couldn't match alone. The Big Bang Theory on HBO Max (867 million minutes) and SpongeBob SquarePants on Paramount+ (579 million minutes) were the main non-Disney competitors in that bracket.

On the combined overall chart, Hoppers came in at eighth place with those 663 million minutes. Love Island USA dominated the top spot at 1.832 billion minutes, spread across Disney+, Paramount+ and Peacock. Reality competition content continues to drive massive numbers. Still, for a single Pixar film competing against long-running series with massive back catalogs, Hoppers performing at that level in the overall rankings is a real statement.

Originals chart : Spider-Noir and Netflix's continued strength

The originals chart had its own story to tell. Love Island USA led by a wide margin. Netflix placed five shows in the top ten, including Sweet Magnolias (806 million minutes), Teach You a Lesson (611 million minutes) and The Four Seasons (455 million minutes). The platform's ability to fill a chart with original content remains one of its clearest competitive advantages.

Amazon Prime Video's Spider-Noir, Marvel's spin-off series, held steady at eighth place with 410 million minutes. It's a lower ranking than its debut weeks, but maintaining a top-ten original position weeks into a run still reflects genuine audience retention. Prime Video also placed Off Campus at number ten (356 million minutes), rounding out a respectable showing.

From our end, tracking which of these originals are available on which platform matters as much as the raw numbers. A show like Shrill appearing on both Hulu/Disney+ and Netflix is a good example of how multi-platform availability amplifies viewership figures in ways that single-platform rankings don't fully capture. Nielsen's methodology aggregates across services when a title streams in multiple places, which explains some of the larger totals.

The week of June 8-14 reinforced one trend we've been watching for a while : Disney's content strategy across Disney+, Hulu and licensed syndication creates a kind of audience lock that other studios are still figuring out how to replicate. Hoppers is just the latest data point in that pattern.
