The week of April 6-12 was a big one for R-rated superhero shows on Prime Video.
The final season of The Boys, which premiered April 8, returned to the Nielsen streaming charts in second place overall, and the animated Invincible followed the previous week’s series high with another solid performance. Neither show, however, could catch The Pitt, which spent a second straight week as the top overall streaming title in the United States.
The Pitt recorded 1.13 billion minutes of viewing for the week prior to its season two finale on HBO Max. That was off slightly from the prior week’s 1.16 billion but marked the ninth consecutive week the medical drama has had a billion or more viewing minutes. Since the week of the season premiere in January, The Pitt has totaled almost 15.5 billion minutes of watch time.
The Boys drew 899 million minutes of viewing, with 64 percent of that (about 575.4 million minutes) devoted to the two episodes that kicked off the show’s fifth and final season. Invincible came in at 566 million minutes, the third highest weekly total in the show’s history.
Netflix’s docuseries Trust Me: The False Prophet premiered with 850 million viewing minutes, good for third place among original shows and fourth overall. Apple TV’s Shrinking (369 million minutes) made the top 10 originals for the second time in the week of its season three finale. Dan Levy’s comedy Big Mistakes had a fairly modest opening with 420 million minutes after its April 9 premiere.
The shark movie Thrash (687 million minutes on Netflix) led the film top 10 in its opening week.
