Nielsen released its weekly U.S. streaming charts covering April 13 to April 19, 2026, and one title made a particularly striking entrance : Spider-Man : No Way Home. Its arrival on Disney+ triggered a notable surge in viewership, reminding us just how much a single title can shift platform momentum. For anyone tracking where to stream what — and we do exactly that — this week's data offers some genuinely telling signals.

Spider-Man : No Way Home lands on Disney+ and shakes up the movie chart

The numbers speak clearly. Spider-Man : No Way Home debuted directly at 6th place in the Top 10 Movies chart, logging 208 million minutes watched in a single week. That's a strong debut for a title that first hit cinemas back in December 2021 — proof that older Marvel films still command real audience attention when they land on a new platform.

The timing isn't accidental. With a new Marvel film scheduled to hit theaters this summer, viewers are actively revisiting the MCU catalog. Disney clearly understood the opportunity here. Making No Way Home available on Disney+ in the U.S. right at this moment was a deliberate move to build hype, and the viewership data confirms it worked.

Here's the full Top 10 Movies chart for that week (Total Minutes Watched – Millions) :

Zootopia 2 also deserves a mention here. The animated sequel has now appeared on the movie chart for multiple consecutive weeks — holding steady at 255 million minutes — which confirms that Disney's animated content continues to perform reliably on Disney+. Two Disney+ films in the top 6 in the same week is far from trivial.

Disney dominates the acquired shows chart — again

Beyond the movie rankings, Disney's grip on the acquired shows chart is hard to ignore. Five of the top 10 acquired titles stream on Hulu or Disney+, which are effectively the same ecosystem. That's not a coincidence — it's the result of years of catalog-building and aggressive licensing.

Bluey tops the acquired chart with 833 million minutes, comfortably ahead of The Big Bang Theory on HBO Max (753 million). Below that, Bob's Burgers (654M) and Family Guy (648M) hold their positions on Hulu/Disney+. Grey's Anatomy, which has previously topped the Nielsen streaming chart, lands at 6th place this week with 642 million minutes across Hulu, Disney+ and Netflix.

Criminal Minds also appears, tied at 9th with Euphoria at 556 million minutes each — a reminder that procedural crime dramas have a permanent audience on streaming. We keep a close eye on where these titles are available, and it's worth noting that Criminal Minds remains accessible across Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ and Pluto TV simultaneously.

Originals and the overall picture : HBO Max and Prime Video lead, but Disney holds its ground

On the originals side, The Pitt on HBO Max dominates everything — 1.388 billion minutes watched, placing it first overall across all categories combined. That number is extraordinary for a single week. The Boys on Prime Video follows with 918 million minutes, a strong showing for a returning series.

The rest of the originals top 10 breaks down as follows :

  1. The Pitt (HBO Max) – 1,388M
  2. The Boys (Prime Video) – 918M
  3. Big Mistakes (Netflix) – 580M
  4. Trust Me : The False Prophet (Netflix) – 550M
  5. Invincible (Prime Video) – 519M
  6. Beef (Netflix) – 498M
  7. Temptation Island (Netflix) – 467M
  8. Love on the Spectrum U.S. (Netflix) – 404M
  9. The Miniature Wife (Peacock) – 351M
  10. Your Friends & Neighbors (Apple TV+) – 332M

Netflix places four titles in the originals top 10, which reflects its consistent content output. Apple TV+'s Your Friends & Neighbors sneaking into 10th is notable — Apple remains the smallest player by catalog size, yet manages to land competitive numbers with targeted releases.

What this week's overall chart highlights is a streaming landscape where no single platform holds a monopoly. Disney+ drives movie viewership and catalog depth. HBO Max owns the top original. Netflix floods the board with volume. Tracking all of this week to week, across every platform, is exactly the kind of work that helps viewers know where their favorite content actually lives — and when something new (or newly available) is worth their time.
