Movie theaters remain closed, and audiences are getting their entertainment at home instead. The Digital Entertainment Group keeps track of what people are watching and compiling their findings into a list of the most-watched at home movies and television each week. The latest index shows a strong showing for television shows over films. The fifth season of Outlander tops the list. It’s followed by all three seasons of Yellowstone. Yellowstone Season Three is in second, Season Two is in third, and Season One is in fourth.
Author J.K. Rowling’s controversial views don’t appear to be affecting the popularity of Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter movies. Not only does the Harry Potter: 8-Film Collection round out this week’s top five, but three of the Harry Potter movies appear individually on the list. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone lands in at 11th place while Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban close out the list in the bottom two spots.
