 * Eternals (film)

 * Salma Hayek, Lia McHugh & Don Lee (48462708001).jpg
 * The most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film continues to sit atop the box office (fending off competition from newcomer Clifford the Big Red Dog this weekend) despite less-than-stellar reviews. It's likely to be left in the dust soon, though: the highly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home is getting a trailer on the 16th, which—assuming the rumors and leaks are in fact accurate—is bound to take the world by storm.

 * Kenosha unrest shooting
 * 1,638,924

And in case you're wondering, he's probably still going to be on the list next week because today he told a certain senator who wants to tax the rich "I keep forgetting that you're still alive", which is undoubtedly going to make much of the American left furious.
 * 17
 * Red Notice (film)
 * 515,019
 * Gal Gadot for Revlon.png
 * Netflix actually got this movie in theaters for a while before its streaming release on Friday, because the expenditure was so much (bringing in Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot isn't cheap!) that it was better off to get some actual box office money. While this movie about thieves going after Cleopatra's relics (which still isn't enough reason for that page to be allowed back on this list) is not the most original thing, it's certainly fun.

 * 22
 * Dean Stockwell
 * 437,298
 * Dean Stockwell.jpg
 * Hollywood lost this actor at the age of 85, who started his career as a child and had worked for the better part of 70 years, including Best Picture winner Gentleman's Agreement, an Oscar-nominated turn in Married to the Mob, the show Quantum Leap and the first time the inspiration for #8 hit theaters.
 * 23
 * Taylor Swift
 * 408,147
 * RedStLouis.png
 * Few artists could get so much attention for re-recording their music, but that's what Ms. Swift got by releasing Red (Taylor's Version). And next month, she can change one of the album's hits to sing "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 32".

Exclusions

 * This list excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue.
