‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Storms This Week’s Streaming Movies Ranking With Its No. 1 Debut

The film’s streaming debut was highly anticipated, following a strong showing at the domestic and international box office. So far, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has grossed over $750 million worldwide, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of the year.

Disney+ also snagged No. 2 on Whip Media’s Movies chart thanks to the debut of “Pinocchio.” Like ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, the live-action remake of the 1940 classic – directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks as Geppetto – also premiered on Disney’s streaming service on September 8. .

While the film’s name and talent recognition certainly helped give it an initial boost, disappointing reviews may have been enough to keep it out of the top spot for the weekend. It will be worth seeing if ‘Pinocchio’ can maintain his high ranking next week or if he will fall.

The same also applies to “Morbius,” which came in at number three after debuting on Netflix last week. The much-maligned Marvel film, starring Jared Leto, was skewered by fans and critics alike when it first hit theaters in April. After an onslaught of memes, “Morbius” then returned to over 1,000 theaters in June. Now that it’s on Netflix, streaming viewers seem to be taking the opportunity to judge the movie for themselves – or maybe crack a few more jokes at its expense. Anyway, he won the bronze medal last weekend.

“Elvis,” meanwhile, had to drop (see what we did there?) his No. 1 ranking from a week ago as he dipped to fourth in Whip Media’s latest chart. . Still, it’s a solid showing for the smash of the summer, which starred Austin Butler as “The King,” having hit HBO Max earlier this month.

“Me Time”, despite its harsh criticism critics and fans, continues to perform well for Netflix. The Kevin Hart-Mark Wahlberg buddy comedy clinched fifth place overall, coming in between “Elvis” and another summer blockbuster, “Jurassic World Dominion,” which placed sixth this weekend. The third and final film in the “Jurassic World” series is Peacock’s only top 10 entry. “Dominion” was ranked fourth in last week’s chart after debuting with Peacock on September 2.

Netflix then clinched two of the next three spots thanks to “Love in the Villa” in seventh and “End of the Road” in ninth, respectively. ‘Villa’, a rom-com from director and writer Mark Steven Johnson, dropped from third place a week earlier after it was released on Netflix as it was the first weekend of Queen’s ‘End of the Road’ Latifa.

“Moonfall,” the sci-fi flop starring Halle Berry and directed by Roland Emrich, came between the two aforementioned Netflix series at No. 8 on Whip Media’s chart. It was the first weekend that “Moonfall” was available to stream on HBO Max.

Finally, “Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return” – a new documentary about the making of the popular “Star Wars” series – helped Disney+ complete the weekly chart and take 10th place.
