The return of Jack Ryan to Amazon’s Prime Video pushed Wednesday out of the top spot on the streaming series rankings. Netflix’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery also had a big premiere, and Peacock landed its first original series in the top 10 the week before Christmas.

Jack Ryan, whose third season premiered all at once Dec. 21, led all series for the Dec. 19-25 frame, with just under 1.9 billion minutes of viewing. That was good enough to edge out Wednesday (1.8 billion minutes), which had a four-week run as the top series title in Nielsen’s rankings.

Both shows, however, came in behind Glass Onion, whose 2.23 billion minutes of watch time — equivalent to about 16 million full runs of the Rian Johnson-directed film — led all titles. The movie did all of its business in the last three days of the week, as it made its Netflix debut Dec. 23. It was the third largest movie premiere in the two-plus years of Nielsen’s streaming rankings, behind Hocus Pocus 2 (2.73 billion minutes) on Disney+ and Wonder Woman 1984 (2.25 billion) on HBO Max.

Peacock’s The Best Man: The Final Chapters debuted with 762 million minutes of viewing, marking the first original series from the NBCUniversal streamer to hit the top 10. (Yellowstone, whose library lives on Peacock, has done so seven times, as have the movies Nope and Halloween Ends.)

Emily in Paris returned to the top 10 with 1.39 billion minutes of watch time with the premiere of its third season on Netflix. The Recruit had a big jump in its second week, growing by 83 percent to just under 1.7 billion minutes.

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Dec. 19-25 are below.
