Hulu Launches Top 15 Daily List of Most Popular Movies, TV Shows

variety.com:

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Disney’s Hulu has jumped on the trend of releasing the most-popular trending titles on its service — but it’s going five more than the usual top 10.

Hulu on Thursday launched “Top 15 Today,” a collection of trending movies and TV series that will be updated daily. Topping the first list are Hulu original series “Only Murders in the Building,” starring Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, followed by FX’s “Welcome to Wrexham” and Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl.” Three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, starring Johnny Depp, are on today’s list: the first installment, “The Curse of the Black Pearl”; “Dead Man’s Chest”; and “At World’s End.” (See full list below.) Hulu has long offered recommendations.

Now it’s offering another content-discovery point with the Top 15 list, following in the footsteps of Netflix and more recently Warner Bros.

Discovery’s Max. Unlike those other two, though, Hulu is lumping movies and TV shows together on the same ranking. Beginning Thursday, subscribers will see the Top 15 Today on their homepage.
