Each month, we look at the most popular movies globally on Disney+, which is tracked daily on the trending list and considers how popular a show is and how long it has been popular on Disney+. This means that films released earlier in the month tend to perform better on this chart.

“Strange World” had a huge debut onto the movie charts, considering that it wasn’t available for the majority of the month.  The re-release of “Avatar” put this film back on top.  Plus “Home Alone” continues to show the power of the franchise during the holidays.
