After a strange ranking last week, the list of the 10 most watched films this week is much more coherent and has news that will please everyone from nerd movie buffs to fans of brutish action.
With two returns of old acquaintances and four new titles, the list is varied and full of medallions just out of theaters. It has everything from a blockbuster action feature with Jason Statham to one of the most prominent animations of all time, piggybacking on one of the main movie premieres in June.
On top of that, a superhero movie that didn’t do so well at the box office came this way taking home the silver medal. The most watched film of the week is also a novelty, but this one sold so many tickets that it became the third highest grossing in the history of animation. Movie huh?
Were you curious to know what titles these are? Then see below the complete ranking of the most watched films of the week that Canaltech makes in partnership with Justwatch.

9. The Whale
After frequenting the podium of the most watched movies list for several weeks, The whale starts to show signs that it is saying goodbye to our ranking. A heavy drama that hits the viewer hard, the feature not only tells the story of the struggle of this obese man with serious health problems, who tries to mend his relationship with his teenage daughter before the worst happens, but also represents the comeback in the career of actor Brendan Fraser, who won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2023.

8. Puss in Boots 2: Last Order
here and there Puss in Boots 2: The Last Order comes out of the most absolute nothing in the ranking of the most watched films of the week — and that, in itself, is already a testament to the quality of this animation. With a very humorous story, which portrays the cat desperate to regain his new lives now that he has only one left, the film is one of the best in the Shrek franchise.

7. No! Do not look!
Who is also back in the running after a week is No! Do not look!.

6. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
In the wake of the launch of Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Versemany people are rewatching Spider-Man in the Spider-Verse, placing it as the sixth most watched film of the week. And it’s no wonder: the feature is one of the most important animations of recent times, breaking several paradigms to tell this story very well that involves multiverses and diverse characters.
Spider-Man in the Spider-Verse can be watched on Disney+ and Paramount+, and is available for rent and purchase on Apple TV, Play Store, Microsoft Store and Amazon.
5. The Worst Neighbor in the World
No one could have predicted that the dramedy starring Tom Hanks, The Worst Neighbor in the World, would be so successful among the most watched films of the week. In the plot, the actor plays this grumpy widower who makes life hell for everyone who lives in his condominium, but who little by little rediscovers the pleasures of life.
The Worst Neighbor in the World can be watched on HBO Max and Claro TV+, in addition to being rented or purchased on the Play Store, Apple TV and Microsoft Store.
4. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
After its debut week on Disney+, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania dropped only one position. Fourth most watched film of the week, it has its importance within Marvel’s planning, starting the new phase of the MCU focused on the Sagada of the Multiverse and with a new great villain: Kang, the Conqueror.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is exclusive to Disney+.
3. Air: The Story Behind the Logo
Last week’s most-watched movie, when it premiered on Prime Video, Air: The Story Behind the Logo has replicated the success it had at the box office around the world. And it’s no wonder, as the film tells the curious story of how Nike became one of the most important sports equipment brands in the world after signing a contract with the then young and promising Michael Jordan.
A good sports drama, Air: The Story Behind the Logo can be watched exclusively on Prime Video.
2. Shazam! Gods Fury
One of the great highlights of HBO Max in May, including the change in the name of the streaming service in the UK to just Max, Shazam! Gods Fury fell in love with superhero fan cinephiles. And that was to be expected, given the film’s worldwide box office failure. Thus, with so many people unwilling to pay for tickets, it makes sense that the film debuts in our ranking as the second most watched of the week.
Shazam! Gods Fury it’s on HBO Max and Claro TV+, and can be purchased or rented on Amazon, the Play Store and the Microsoft Store.
1. Super Mario Bros: The Movie
A very pleasant surprise, Super Mario Bros: The Movie was a resounding success in theaters and became the third highest-grossing animated film in history.
