Halloween Classics Boost Disney+ Viewership On The Nielsen Streaming Charts

Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from October 20th, 2025, to October 26th 2025. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.

With Halloween almost upon subscribers, two of Disney’s classic spooky-themed movies, “Hocus Pocus” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” got a boost in viewership, highlighting the power of nostalgia and the holidays. 

The release of a new episode of the fifth season of “Only Murders In The Building” on Hulu continues to give the show a boost in viewership, while also benefiting from the back catalogue of previous seasons to boost viewing numbers.

Disney continues to hold a large portion of the acquired charts, with its biggest hits, including “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Bob’s Burgers” and “Bluey”, still drawing viewers on Hulu and Disney+.   Disney was also able to take advantage of some popular licensed content, such as “Law & Order”, and “NCIS”.
