Prime Video’s Carrie debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen’s US streaming chart for October 5–11, 2026, with 1.26 billion viewing minutes, according to figures reported by The Hollywood Reporter on October 22. Netflix’s thriller Below opened in second place, followed by East of Eden.
The previous week’s leader, Netflix’s Wonka’s The Golden Ticket, dropped out of the overall top 10 after its viewing minutes fell 44 percent. It finished sixth among original series.
Nielsen measures viewing on television sets in the United States only. The figures exclude computers and mobile devices, and count minutes watched rather than individual viewers.
East of Eden’s viewing minutes rose 49 percent from the previous week. In the separate movie rankings, Ben Affleck’s Animals took first place after its October 9 release on Netflix.
| Title | Viewing minutes | Chart result |
|---|---|---|
| Carrie | 1.26 billion | First overall |
