The children’s animated film “Wish” debuted with just over 1 billion minutes watched in its first five days of streaming on Disney+, per Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings for the April 1-7 interval. Having debuted on April 3, that makes the movie the fourth-most-streamed title of the week.
The No. 1 title of the week was “The Resident,” up from No. 2 the week before when an update to Nielsen’s measurement capabilities drove the series’ chart debut. Across both Hulu and Netflix, the medical drama was watched for nearly 1.2 billion minutes from April 1 to April 7.
“Grey’s Anatomy” was the second-most-streamed title of the week with just over 1.1 billion minutes watched across both Netflix and Hulu. This was a strong viewership bump for the series, which makes the chart almost every week but typically in a lower position. “Bluey” is a constant in the top half of the chart, and made No. 3 during this viewing period with just under 1.1 billion minutes watched.
“3 Body Problem” dropped to No. 5 after two weeks in first place. The Netflix series was watched for 937 million minutes this week, followed by “Family Guy,” another title impacted by Nielsen’s measurement updates,” which was watched for 893 million minutes. “NCIS” landed at No. 7, as it often does, with 870 million minutes.
