The streaming wars are weird. Just when you think a Netflix original like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will reign atop t🌌he charts for a few weeks, a random Bill Murray comedy from 2014 comes al🌸ong and becomes the most-streamed Netflix movie.

Nielsen has released its latest streaming numbers, and while Encanto still happily sits as the top overall movie on all major streaming services, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:St. Vincent – which stars Murray alongside Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, and Chris O'Dowd – comes in second place, beating The Tinder Swindler and the reboot of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now, bear in mind that Nielsen's numbers are delayed, meaning these numbers are for the week of February 14 to February 20. Those dates are before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Adam Project reached Netflix and became the streamer's new number one movie. Also to note: this is US data, not UK – St. Vincent is not streaܫming on Netflix UK.

In St. Vincent, Murray plays Vincent, a Vietnam vet who lives alone with his Persian furball of a cat, Felix. He drinks. He ga𒊎mbles. And he occasionally has sex, with a pregnant prostitute named Daka (Watts, with a thick Russian accent). That is, until Maggie (McCarthy), still recovering from a tough divorce, ♏and her 12-year-old son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door. Cue laughs and romance.

The same streaming report also revealed the top shows for the same time period, with Inventing Anna comfortably sitting at the t🍸op of the original series list, followed by Love is Blind and Ozark, all of which are on Ne💮tflix. Amazon Prime Video comes in fourth with Reacher. Here's the full list of most-streamed original shows:
