Rounding out the Top 10 for the week of Nov. 20 were the Nielsen streaming chart debut of Netflix’s CoComelon Lane (291 million minutes viewed/nine episodes), Netflix’s Criminal Code (282 million minutes/eight episodes), Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See (down four spots with 267 million minutes/four episodes), Disney+’s Loki (down six spots with 262 million minutes/12 episodes) and Prime Video’s Invinicible (248 million minutes/13 episodes).
All told, Nielsen notes that this year’s Thanksgiving Week fare was less stuffed with minutes viewed than the same span in 2022, when Netflix’s Wednesday nearly broke 6 billion minutes and four additional titles (Dead To Me, 1899, The Crown and Slumberland) all were over a billion minutes.
