When combining movies and TV series, the concert film also ranked as the No. 8 most-watched streaming program overall, surpassing viewership for Netflix docuseries “Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War,” which tallied up 621 million viewing minutes and stood as the No. 9 most-watched streaming program, as well as “Young Sheldon,” which scored 618 million viewing minutes across Max and Netflix in the 10th spot.

In the second week since its March 7 release, “The Gentlemen” rose from the No. 2 spot on the overall streaming list to the No. 1 spot with 1.86 billion viewing minutes this week. “Damsel” came next in second place, ahead of “Love Is Blind,” which tallied 1.44 billion viewing minutes on Netflix.
