“Captain America: Brave New World” Tops Nielsen Streaming Chart
Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from May 26th, 2025, to June 1st 2025. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.
With the release of the new Marvel Studios film, “Captain America: Brave New World” on Disney+, the film instantly jumped to the top of the movie charts, becoming the most-watched movie on streaming at the end of May.
The original animated film, “Lilo & Stitch” continues to get a boost in viewership following the release of the new live-action version, highlighting the benefit of the large back catalogue of titles available on Disney+.
The final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” continues to perform well for Disney+, as the show was the second most popular original streaming show of the week.
The second season of “Secret Lives Of Mormon Lives” also continues to be a hit on both Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ for the third week running.
With a couple of weeks since the release of the season finale of “Andor”, the show continued to pull in enough viewers to just make the original chart for another week.
Disney continues to dominate the acquired and overall charts, with Disney’s biggest hits “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Bluey”, “Criminal Minds” and “Family Guy”, making up the majority of these charts for Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
