Venom and Holiday Films Dominate DEG’s Watched at Home List

January 4, 2022

Audiences were feeling the holiday love this week as evidenced by DEG’s Watched at Home Top 20 List, which featured a number of holiday classics, namely 2000’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas (No. 3) and 2018’s The Grinch (No. 4), Elf (No. 5), National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (No. 7), Home Alone (No. 8), A Christmas Story (No. 12), The Polar Express (No. 13), Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (No. 18), Love Actually (No. 19), and the 1966 TV version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (No. 20).

None of those pics drew enough viewers to overtake Venom: Let There Be Carnage at the top of the list, or this week’s No. 2 feature, the James Bond flick No Time to Die.

Propelled by excitement for new chapter Spider-Man: No Way Home, which rang up more than $600 million in domestic theaters over the holidays, three Spidey stories charted: Spider-Man: Far From Home at No. 6, Spider-Man: Homecoming at No. 11, and The Amazing Spider-Man at No. 15.

DEG compiles the Watched at Home Top 20 list with the most widely consumed titles on disc and digital during the previous week (except for outside subscription-based streaming platforms). Assembled with the newest studio and retailer data every seven days, it showcases current consumer enthusiasm for home viewing of the newest film and television releases.
