‘Dirty Pop’, ‘The Decameron’, ‘Non-Negotiable’ Fuel Streaming Reviews

Summer sleep set for streaming viewers in the period from July 16 to August. Total minutes watched to 1 frame for the top original streaming series and movies has fallen in recent weeks.

Netflix’s “Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam” and “The Decameron” showed some grit by cracking Luminate’s top 10 for original streaming series. Paramount+’s ‘The Mayor of Kingstown’ also saw a boost this week for the penultimate episode of Season 3. On the movie side, Netflix’s rom-com ‘Find Me Falling’ topped the chart for the second week in a row. The Spanish-language entry ‘Non Negotiable’ was a weak success in its first week on Netflix.

Peacock’s ‘Love Island USA’ ousted Netflix’s ‘Cobra Kai’ from the No. 1 spot among original streaming series with 386.5 million minutes watched — a big drop from the week before, when the finale episode sent the show down to 1.1 billion viewed minutes. “Dirty Pop,” a docuseries about boy band impresario Lou Pearlman, was strong enough to hit No. 2 with 320.5 million minutes watched during its first full week of release.

The Apple TV+ drama “Presumed Innocent” maintained staying power, rising to No. 3 with 306.5 million minutes watched after six weeks in release. “The Decameron,” the period drama released July 25, racked up 236.3 million viewing minutes and landed at No. 5 behind “Cobra Kai” (242.5 million).

Netflix’s costume drama “Vikings: Vahalla” (179.5 million) and the unscripted football series “Receiver” (149.7 million) maintained their hold on the top 10 spots.

The film’s surprise contender was “Non Negotiable,” a Mexican action comedy directed by Juan Taratuto, which racked up 147.6 million viewing minutes and 1.6 million views after bowing on July 26. “Knox Goes Away,” a crime thriller directed by and starring Michael Keaton, debuted at No. 6 with 123.2 million minutes watched and 1.1 million views after its July 26 premiere on Max.

Rom-com “Find Me Falling” remained at No. 1 with 309.3 million minutes watched and 3.3 million views. “Hillbilly Elegy,” the film based on the 2016 memoir of GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, was No. 2 for the second week in a row with 197.9 million minutes watched and 1.7 million views.

Disney+’s “Descendants: The Rise of Red” impressed by dropping just one rung in its third full week of release, landing at No. 4 with 141.8 million minutes watched and 1.5 million views.
