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.

Movies:

A new year, and a good start for Netflix. Netflix's Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical debuts in third place in a week dominated by new Netflix releases.

Noah Baumbach and Adam Driver teams up again in White Noise, which was 7th this week. Another Netflix release (but this one is on the US Netflix only) was in 9th, The Invitation.

The meme-tastic Zoolander makes a return to the top 10.

"Spirited", "Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery", "Falling for Christmas", and "A Christmas Story Christmas" exited the top 10 this week.
