Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters has set several records over its pop culture-dominating run in the summer. What it hadn’t done previously was lead the overall rankings on Nielsen’s streaming charts.

Emphasis on “hadn’t”: In the final week of August, the movie took over the No. 1 overall spot with its highest weekly viewing total to date in the United States, 1.12 billion minutes. It marked the movie’s 11th straight appearance in the Nielsen rankings, extending a record for a streaming original film that it set a week earlier.

Another movie, The Thursday Murder Club, came in second overall for Aug. 25-31 with 1.03 billion viewing minutes. That narrowly beat Netflix’s YA series My Life With the Walter Boys, which recorded 987 million minutes of viewing for the week of its season two premiere.

Wednesday ceded the No. 1 overall spot it had held for the previous three weeks, dropping to fifth place with 870 million minutes. It will likely move back up in the next set of rankings as Netflix released the second half of the season on Sept. 3. Netflix also had the No. 4 title with docuseries Katrina: Come Hell or High Water (911 million minutes).

The Summer I Turned Pretty hit another high for Prime Video with 717 million minutes of watch time as it entered the home stretch of its third season. Marvel’s movie Thunderbolts (702 million minutes) also cracked the overall top 10 the week of its streaming premiere on Disney+.

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Aug. 25-31, 2025, are below.
