What are the entertainment offerings that consumers are most excited about? It\u2019s a question that marketers, distributors, advertisers and media publications are always asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ScreenShare<\/a>, a data partnership between Screen Engine\/ASI and TheWrap, tracks the Top 10 most-mentioned entertainment options every week and whether each has gained or lost momentum compared to the prior week. The chart lives on the Data & Analysis page<\/a> of the WrapPRO Members Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the week of Feb. 28 – March 6, 2026,\u00a0 “Scream 7”\u00a0leads overall at 4.20% of mentions following its release on Feb. 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other films in the Top 10 include “Project Hail Mary” (2.08%)\u00a0and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” (1.82%)\u00a0also trending upward, reflecting gradually building excitement ahead of their theatrical debuts on March 20\u00a0and April 1, respectively. “Project Hail Mary” made a big leap to No. 3 from No. 9 last week thanks to early buzz, and will likely keep moving up amid positive reviews that came out this week. It has a 95% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two additional films enter the Top 10 this week: “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” (1.53%)\u00a0and\u00a0“Hoppers” (1.46%), which released last weekend. The latest in the Star Wars film franchise dropped a new trailer on Feb. 17, three months ahead of its theatrical release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the television side, “Bridgerton”\u00a0ranks second overall at 3.63%, increasing from last week and suggesting continued momentum following the Feb. 26 release of additional new episodes.\u00a0“Stranger Things” (2.03%)\u00a0remains among the most anticipated titles but softens slightly week-over-week, while “The Pitt” (1.95%)\u00a0also dips modestly while remaining within the Top 5. Long-running reality staple “Survivor” (1.64%)\u00a0remains in the Top 10 following the premiere of its 50th season in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports remain part of the broader entertainment landscape, with NBA Basketball (1.30%) entering the Top 10 as the league moves deeper into the season and playoff positioning begins to take shape.<\/p>\n\n\n
