James Cameron took his winnings at the box office in December, and now, he’s come for the streaming charts.

“Avatar: The Way of Water,” Cameron’s long-awaited sequel to 2010’s “Avatar,” took the No. 1 spot on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 during the June 5-11 viewing window. The movie arrived on both Max and Disney+ on June 7, and was watched for 1.9 billion minutes in its first five days of availability.

The No. 2 title was “Manifest,” which was watched for 1.6 billion minutes in the first full week of availability of Season 4 Part 2. The series’ final episodes arrived on Netflix on June 2, and last week, in those episodes’ first three days of availability, “Manifest” was at No. 6 with 749 minutes.

With 1.3 billion minutes watched, “S.W.A.T.” was the No. 3 title, a slight drop from last week’s No. 2 showing with 1.4 billion minutes watched on Paramount+. The drama, which airs on CBS, is currently on a four-week streak on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10, having first appeared in sixth place during the May 15-21 viewing window — one week after the network canceled and swiftly uncanceled it.

“Never Have I Ever” took fourth place after debuting its fourth and final season on Netflix on June 8. In its first four days of availability, the teen comedy series was watched for 917 million minutes. It was followed by “F.U.B.A.R.,” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new series that previously enjoyed two weeks at No. 1. From June 5-11, the action-comedy was watched for 819 million minutes.

With streaming availability across Hulu, Netflix and Peacock, “Heartland” was the sixth most-streamed title of the week with 795 million minutes. The series concluded its 16th season on Canada’s CBC in February, but Season 16 is not yet available in the U.S. — solely seasons 1-15 on Netflix and Seasons 1-14 on Hulu and Peacock.

“Bluey” landed in seventh place this week with 738 million minutes watched. It beat its frequent competitor, the fellow animated preschool series “Cocomelon,” which frequently makes the chart but did not this week.

“Ted Lasso” took ninth place with 641 million minutes watched from June 5 to June 11, the first full week of availability of its Season 3 finale. At the bottom of the chart was “All American,” the CW’s popular teen drama, with 625 million hours viewed on Netflix.
