Streaming Trends - 8/5

Last week’s top two films in streaming maintained their position at the top of the charts from the previous week. In first place was an under-the-radar Rom-Com, Find Me Falling, and in second place, Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy. The first is wonderfully escapist and satisfies the current drought of rom-coms in the market; the other was boosted by the sudden rise in status of the author of a book on which the film is based, JD Vance (VP candidate).

Here’s the breakdown of the top ten by hours viewed:
