In contrast, \u201cStranger Things\u201d (1.64%) declines notably from last week\u2019s second position, indicating a cooling following sustained post-release interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d (2.68%) rebounds strongly this week after slipping post-release, signaling renewed and potentially broader audience interest. Meanwhile, \u201cMajor League Baseball\u201d (2.59%) climbs as the season begins, while \u201cNBA Basketball\u201d (1.37%) dips slightly but remains in the Top 10 leading up to the end of its regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several franchise films continue to build momentum, including July&#8217;s \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d (1.74%) and May&#8217;s \u201cStar Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu\u201d (1.69%), both trending upward week-over-week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the television side, \u201cBridgerton\u201d (1.68%) re-enters the Top 10, while \u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d (1.39%) enters, indicating continued franchise engagement in Season 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ScreenShare: A data partnership between ScreenEngine\/ASI &amp;
