These are the movies and TV shows US consumers have been most interested in over the previous month

Wes Anderson’s latest, The Phoenician Scheme, is the kind of eccentric, unique film that would never rock the box office but would be perfect to make a great movie night out of in a home environment, so it’s good to see it’s getting the attention it deserves. (Image: Focus Pictures)


Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every movie or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different or even unavailable in various regions – define the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the free JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet in order to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot and recommended on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Nothing more predictable than a lot of spring films taking up a number of spots in a summer streaming Top Ten, yes, but if it ends up being such a good mix of different kinds of movies, who’s complaining? (Image: JustWatch)


Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

Consumers showed interest in a variety of different TV shows in July – always a good thing, that – and it’s nice to see a handful of noteworthy new entries are given a fair chance to shine despite the lack of branding or promotion. (Image: JustWatch)


Taking a look at the Top Ten Movies charts it’s plain to see the effect of the summer blockbusters on the home entertainment market slowly fading – only to return in November and December, obviously – even if 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later still attract interest because of 28 Years Later. Spring films like Sinners, The Drop and The Amateur deserved the attention too – as did Wes Anderson’s latest, The Phoenician Scheme – but it’s the 50th anniversary of a true classic, Jaws, that serves the most pleasant July surprise this year. Not that The Substance somehow managing to claim a spot in this Top Ten again, after all these months, is any less surprising!

When it comes to TV shows variety is the name of the game, just as it should be. There was bound to be a lot of interest in Squid Game or The Bear or South Park, followed by a couple of notable new entries such as Untamed or Ballard, but The Institute and Dept. Q are decidedly different to all of the above – and to one another – making for a colorful TV Show Top Ten. Also great to see that interest in Poker Face or Murderbot has not yet waned since last month, making the August JustWatch charts kind of hard to predict. But that’s not really a bad thing, is it?
