Top 10 Streaming Charts: Action-Comedy Sequel Tops Movie Charts (August 1st)
Welcome to our weekly feature where we look at the most popular streaming movies and TV shows in Australia based on data collected by streaming search engine JustWatch, for the week ending August 1st, 2021.
Movies
"A Quiet Place Part II" has been knocked off the top spot by the action-comedy sequel "Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" in the top 10 movie streaming charts for the week ending 1 August 2021. "A Quiet Place Part II" was still in second place.
New to the top 10 was the 2021 reboot of "Mortal Kombat", coming in at 7th. The action film based on the iconic video game of the same name, and a reboot of the 1995 adaptation, has been well received by fans and had enjoyed enormous streaming success in the US when it was released simultaneously in theatres and on the streaming platform HBO Max.
Australian horror flick "Lake Mungo" entered the top 10 at 8th - no explanation was provided as to what led this to happen 3 years after the film's original release (it did not get released on any of the subscription-based platforms). "Ghostbusters" re-entered the top 10 as well, perhaps related to the release of the second Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer last week - the classic film is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
"Wrath of Man" also returns to the top 10 after a week's absence.
Leaving the top 10 were "Promising Young Woman" and The Tomorrow War, both after a good run in the top 10, and "Idiocracy" and "Midsommar".
Television
In television, "Ted Lasso" remained at the top of the charts, with HBO's "The White Lotus" (Binge) and "Why Women Kill" (SBS On Demand) rising in the charts to 3rd and 4th respectively.
There is a strong second-place debut for the classic serial killer black comedy "Dexter", very likely on the backs of the new trailer for the special event series that continues where the original series left off, "Dexter: New Blood" (being a Showtime series, the most likely Australian home for the miniseries when it gets released is Stan). "Doctor Who" re-enters in 9th place.
After another good run, "Mr Inbetween" leaves the top 10 along with "American Horror Story" and "More of Easttown".

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
