Mike Flanagan's 'Carrie' Reboot Tops Nielsen Streaming Chart with 1.26 Billion Minutes

Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie has made a massive debut, securing the No. 1 spot on Nielsen's streaming chart with 1.26 billion minutes watched in its first five days on Prime Video. The series, which reimagines the classic horror tale, has clearly resonated with audiences, outpacing other major streaming titles during the same period. Flanagan, known for his work on The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, brings his signature psychological depth to the story of Carrie White, a bullied teenager with telekinetic powers. The strong viewership numbers underscore the enduring appeal of King's work and the draw of Flanagan's storytelling. For Prime Video, this success reinforces its strategy of investing in high-profile literary adaptations to compete in the crowded streaming landscape. As the series continues to generate buzz, it will be interesting to see if it maintains its momentum in the coming weeks.
