Everyone has been watching this week.
Each week, the most popular streamed movies come down to a few factors, including buzz, smart marketing and PR campaigns, star power, and a slow burn, word-of-mouth phenomenon that leads people to finally watch it out of spite. To get a sense of what everyone is watching, we've used data from streaming aggregation Reelgood, which gathers those coveted viewership numbers from hundreds of streaming services in the U.S.
This week's list includes the highest ever watched film on the platform, as well as Chris Hemsworth's new thriller, and of course, Top Gun.
A lot of people are watching, but that doesn't mean it's good. The 10 most streamed films of the week are listed here.

Spiderhead is a story about a facility that tests drugs on prisoners and challenges the idea of free will. When two subjects connect, Jeff and Lizzy, things fall apart.
Spiderhead is a pretty decent movie to watch. If that's all they're after, they've got their gold star for mediocre.

You're probably going to revisit the original Top Gun if you want to see the new one. Tony Scott's 1986 elite fighter pilot action classic has a Kenny Loggins soundtrack and That Volleyball Scene.
How do you bring an action hero from the '80's into the 2020's without him feeling like a fossil? The team behind Top Gun has done a great job.
Top Gun is now available on Prime Video and Paramount+.

People are going to watch the second movie in the trilogy, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, this week. There is a debate in the US Senate about whether or not to save the dinosaurs from a volcano that could cause a catastrophic eruption. It's going to be a lot of work and a lot of fun.
It can be pleasantly odd when it is moment-to- moment. Chris Pratt gets to show off his physical comedy chops in a scene that seems inspired by the movie "Wolf of Wall Street". She has a flair for drama, no matter what you think of the film. She winked in a scene.
The movie is now streaming on fuboTV.

A lot of you are at the top of the queue for Adam Sandler's new movie, 'Hustle'. Bo Cruz, a talented player who has some baggage in his past, is played by Juancho Hernangmez, a talented player who has some baggage in his past. I'm going to be more complicated than Stanley thought.

The most recent James Bond film and the last to star Daniel Craig as 007 introduces a host of new characters.
No Time To Die is a triumphant last lap for Daniel Craig that closes a wonderful stretch of Ian Fleming's legacy. It explores its source material in a way that will make you fall in love again. Is Bond deserving of the award?
No Time to Die is now available on Prime Video.
