Curious about which movies captivated audiences across various apps? Discover the films that led the Power Score rankings in May 2026
For the month of May, Netflix's "The Crash" takes the #1 spot on the TVision Power Score for movies. The true crime documentary, centered on a fatal car crash that turned into a murder case, tapped into exactly the kind of viewer behavior Netflix knows how to capture. Short runtime, high-stakes storytelling, and a case polarizing enough to keep people watching without looking away. True crime continues to be one of the most reliable attention drivers in streaming, and this one proved it again.
At #2 is Netflix's "Remarkably Bright Creatures," the Sally Field and Lewis Pullman-led adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt's bestselling novel. A book that spent over 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list brought a built-in audience to the screen, and they showed up in force. The film opened as the most-watched title on the platform in its debut week and held that momentum through the month.
Amazon's "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War" lands at #3, bringing John Krasinski back as the CIA operative three years after the series wrapped. Fans of the series clearly treated this as a continuation, not a cold start, and the attention data reflects that kind of carryover audience

TVision measures Viewer Presence and Attention for every second of programming and advertising on television. Every time a person walks into the room, our technology detects who the viewer is, where they are in the room, and what their eyes are looking at. We do all this without personally identifying individual users, and without transmitting any images or videos. TVision’s data is collected from an opt-in panel of 5,000 homes across the United States and weighted to represent the country. All demographic data is self-reported by the respondents. Linear and CTV ad impressions data in this report is from May 1 – May 31, 2023 or May 29 – June 4, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.
The TVision Power Score is a completely new ranking designed to factor in both viewership and engagement when measuring the performance of CTV programming. The Power Score is based on the industry’s most comprehensive view of the CTV landscape - TVision measures activity across over 1,000 apps - and enables an accurate understanding of the relative performance of CTV content across any app. This new way to understand show performance will enable industry watchers to more quickly identify trending content and CTV’s hottest programming and even uncover hidden gems distributed through smaller apps.
The TVision Power Score factors in four key metrics: the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach. This combination of metrics was chosen to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers - regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.
