In fact, Hocus Pocus 2 has actually broken the record for the most minutes viewed for a streaming movie with 2.7 billion minutes. Yep, that\u2019s billion with a capital B.<\/p>\n<p>This is according to Nielsen\u2019s weekly streaming chart for the period of September 26 to October 2. The previous record holder for most minutes viewed for a streaming movie was Encanto, which had 2.2 billion minutes of viewing minutes. As you can see, Hocus Pocus 2 pretty much blew that record out of the water. The demographic for the sequel was also widely varied, with 2-11-year-old, 18-34-year-old, and 35-49-year-old each accounting for one-quarter of the audience. Despite the impressive performance of Hocus Pocus 2, it wasn\u2019t the top streaming project as Netflix\u2019s Dahmer series easily took the top spot with 4.37 billion minutes viewed. Serial killers trump witches apparently.
