Welcome to the Binge Report, where we look at the most popular movies and original TV shows that Americans have been streaming in the last week. For those interested in Australian numbers (provided to us by streaming search engine JustWatch), please have a look here. You can read last week's report here.
The TV Time app (iPhone and Android) helps users organise their streaming plans. The data here is tracked from American users of the app and some shows listed are not available in Australia without the use of a suitable VPN.
"Violent Night" finds a streaming home on Peacock after a brief theatrical run and relative box office success - it debuts on the top 10 in third place.
Horror film "Sick" (Peacock) was 7th, while "Elvis" (HBO Max) returns to the top 10 in 10th.
"The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker", "The Banshee of Inisherin", and "Ticket to Paradise" all left the top 10.

"Criminal Minds: Evolution", technically the 16th season of "Criminal Minds", from Paramount+ was the most-streamed show for the week.
That '90s Show debuts in second-place, while the second season of "Mayor of Kingstown" (Paramount+) helped it to a 6th place finish.
"Servant" (Apple TV+) was 8th while the new "Velma" on HBO Max, which has the distinction of being one of the the worst-reviewed shows on IMDb, was 10th. The failure of "Velma" is a combination of the usual anti-diversity backlash, plus (a lot more) people who genuinely just don't like the show.
"The Last of Us" just missed the cutoff for this week's stats, and so it will be in next week's (and most likely in top spot).
"1923", "Tulsa King", "Criminal Minds", "Willow", and "Kaleidoscope" left the top 10 to make room.
