Streaming Ratings: ‘House of the Dragon’ Climbs to No. 1 Overall

Overall streaming numbers for July 8-14 came down a fair amount from the record-breaking previous week. HBO’s House of the Dragon, however, was virtually even with its prior viewing total — which was good enough to move it to the top spot for the first time.

House of the Dragon amassed 1.27 billion minutes of viewing on Max (not including viewing on HBO’s cable channels), just a smidge below the 1.3 billion it had the week before. With the two titles ahead of it the previous week, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Suits, each falling by significant amounts, the HBO show moved up to No. 1.

Suits fell by 28 percent week-to-week to 1.07 billion minutes of viewing on Netflix and Peacock, which was good for third place overall, slightly behind Bluey (1.08 billion minutes on Disney+) and just ahead of The Boys (1.05 billion for Prime Video), which had its fifth consecutive week over the billion-minute mark. Love Island also hit a billion minutes for the first time, spread across three platforms (Hulu, Netflix and Peacock).

The Bear cooled some for Hulu in the third week after its season three premiere still put up a solid 781 million minutes of viewing. Stranger Things also moved back into the top 10 original series with 375 million minutes of watch time.

Axel F dropped by 55 percent in its second week but still led the movie rankings by a significant margin with 917 million minutes of watch time. IF (607 million minutes) finished second in its first week on Paramount+.

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 July 8-14, 2024, are below.
