Reelgood Streaming Top 10: Swapped Climbs Seven Spots to #1, Mortal Kombat Enters at #8 as MK II Opens
Here’s your Reelgood Streaming Top 10 (movies & TV) snapshot for May 7 to May 13:
For the second consecutive week, a theatrical sequel’s opening pulled its streaming catalog predecessor onto the Top 10. Mortal Kombat II released May 8 to a $40 million opening weekend, and Mortal Kombat enters our chart at #8 on HBO Max. The pattern last week: The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened May 1 to $76.7 million, and the 2006 Devil Wears Prada climbed from #5 to #1 on Disney+. Combined with The Passion of the Christ‘s Easter-weekend appearance on DirecTV Stream the week of April 2 to 8, the 2026 chart now has three confirmed instances of an external event lifting a catalog title into our Top 10. Two of them inside two weeks.
Swapped (Netflix) climbs seven spots from #8 to #1, the largest within-chart rise across the last five weekly charts. The animated film released to Netflix on May 1 and debuted at #8 last week. Its climb to the top lands inside Mother’s Day weekend, a plausible driver for a family-targeted animated title.
Netflix places four titles, restoring the count after a three-title placement last week. Six services split the Top 10: Netflix (4), HBO Max (2), and Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, and Prime Video (one each), matching last week’s six-platform spread.
This past week’s highlights:
- The sequel-catalog effect, week two: Mortal Kombat enters at #8 on HBO Max the week Mortal Kombat II opens theatrically. Last week’s parallel: the 2006 Devil Wears Prada climbed four spots to #1 on Disney+ the week DWP2 opened. Two consecutive weeks, two theatrical sequels, two catalog titles pulled onto the chart by box-office activity. For licensors and acquisition teams thinking about how theatrical sequel campaigns reactivate catalog windows, the data is showing the effect clearly and repeatably.
- The Devil Wears Prada (Disney+) closes the arc at #3: Debuted at #5 the week of April 23-29, climbed to #1 last week as the sequel opened, and now holds top-three the same week DWP2 posts a $43 million second weekend. A three-week run with sustained chart-top engagement that maps directly to the sequel’s theatrical run. The catalog support isn’t a one-week spike.
- Swapped (Netflix) leads a +7 climb to #1: The animated film released May 1 on Netflix and debuted at #8 last week. Its climb to #1 this week is the largest single-week rise we’ve tracked across the last five weekly charts, edging out Thrash‘s four-spot climb to #2 the week of April 16 to 22. Mother’s Day weekend (May 10) inside the chart window is the most plausible driver for a family animated title with this kind of mid-chart-to-#1 trajectory.
- Widow’s Bay (Apple TV) holds at #4: The Katie Dippold-created horror-comedy held its position from last week, an unusual same-rank hold for an Apple TV series. Episode 3 dropped inside the chart window (May 6), continuing the weekly release cadence that began April 29. Apple TV has placed a title in the top five for two consecutive weeks now.
- Three more debuts, all tied to releases on May 7: Send Help enters at #2 on Hulu following its May 7 SVOD premiere. The Sam Raimi-directed survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams went theatrical January 30, hit PVOD March 24, and landed on Hulu on the first day of this chart window. Legends enters at #10 on Netflix after its May 7 full-season drop of all six episodes. Remarkably Bright Creatures enters at #7 on Netflix. Combined with Mortal Kombat at #8, four of this week’s ten titles entered on the strength of release activity inside or on the boundary of the chart window.
