Netflix subs aren't cheep
Every year since 2014, the Top 25 Report of holiday week is topped by Hollywood. And 2018 managed to get a top entry as dark as a recently deceased Carrie Fisher: the Netflix post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box, which also brought along the original novel and its two main actors. Who'd have guess that as a way to spend Christmas (#14)\Boxing Day (#7)\Kwanzaa (#21). Actual theatrical releases also have a heavy presence, with four movies apiece from Hollywood and India (with the former also having the one depicted in Bohemian Rhapsody, and the latter, their list of highest-grossing films). Some celebrities also show up without needing to join the death list (#8), such as the star of Aquaman (#5) and his wife (#17), a former child star (#12) getting married to an actor (#10), and another former child star (#11) appearing in a commercial. Finishing the list, a tragedy in Indonesia (#16) and showing the week is really slow, the World Cup that ended back in July!(#25)
