‘Inside Out 2’ Debuts On Disney+ With Over 1B Minutes Viewed, But ‘Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story’ Stays Atop Nielsen Streaming List
Inside Out 2 soared onto the Nielsen streaming charts after making its Disney+ debut in September, but it couldn’t quite beat Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
The sequel to Pixar’s animated hit took second place from September 23 to 29, racking up 1.8B minutes viewed in just a few days, after premiering on the streaming service on Sept. 25.

According to Nielsen, 42% of the audience came from the 2-11 age range, but 41% came from adults 18-49 — suggesting that co-viewing, naturally, was big for this title. But, this also suggests that, nearly a decade after the first film, Inside Out 2 is attracting some young adults who would’ve been the target demo when the original was released (with or without kids of their own).
Meanwhile, Murphy’s latest crime drama outing saw a 40% increase in viewership week-over-week, easily securing the No. 1 spot with 2.4B minutes viewed. Nielsen points out that this is the first title to surpass 2B minutes viewed since Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F did so in July. It’s also only the seventh title this year to reach that milestone.
Third place went to Nobody Wants This, which launched during this interval, quickly tallying just over 1B minutes viewed.
Netflix’s docuseries Mr. McMahon managed fourth place with 908M minutes viewed after debuting the one day before the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody rom com. Rounding out the Top 5 was Bob’s Burgers, relegating Bluey to sixth place.
Agatha All Along was down this week with 365M minutes viewed after cracking 400M the week prior, when it debuted, but it held onto a spot on the streaming originals list at No. 10.
