Netflix’s Spy Games: ‘Back in Action’ Fends Off ‘The Night Agent’ Season 2 as No. 1 on Streaming Top 10 | Chart
Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx’s spy thriller “Back in Action” continues its dominance of the streaming landscape, maintaining its top position for a second consecutive week. After capturing 3.2 million U.S. households during its first weekend streaming, the action-packed film has shown remarkable staying power, demonstrating that audiences aren’t ready to let go of this high-stakes adventure.
Netflix showed its streaming supremacy with an impressive triple threat at the top of the charts, as “The Night Agent” Season 2 and “American Primeval” secured the No. 2 and No. 3 positions respectively.
The Paramount+ release of “Gladiator II” proved its box office success wasn’t a fluke, charging into No. 4, while Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman” was finally unseated from its lock on the top two slots over the last seven weeks to fall into No. 5. The success of “The Night Agent” Season 2 sparked renewed interest in its predecessor, with Season 1 claiming the No. 6 spot as viewers rushed to catch up on the story. Netflix’s heartfelt baseball drama “You Gotta Believe” slid into No. 7, showcasing the platform’s range of content.
Amazon Prime Video’s “Beast Games” displayed impressive endurance, maintaining its position in the Top 10 for a fourth consecutive week, albeit falling from No. 6 to No. 8 this week. Max made its presence felt with “The Pitt,” a gripping ER drama starring Noah Wyle, in the Top 10 for its second consecutive week (slipping from No. 7 to No. 9). Similarly, Netflix’s “Younger” had another week in The top 10 and also fell two notches from No. 8 to No. 10.
The linear landscape told its own story this week, with the inauguration drawing massive viewership across multiple networks. CBS found success with its new series “Watson,” starring Morris Chestnut, which enjoyed a strong debut in second place. NBC’s Chicago franchise continued to deliver reliable ratings, with “Chicago Med” taking No. 3 and “Chicago Fire” securing the No. 8 spot. The network’s “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Timothée Chalamet, closed out the Top 10.
Game shows proved their enduring appeal, with “Wheel of Fortune” claiming three spots (No. 4, No. 5, No. 7) for ABC and “The Price is Right” earning two positions of its own (No. 6 and No. 9).
