Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, streaming on Paramount+, led the Whip Media chart of streaming movies, while Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” again topped the Whip Media chart of streaming originals among U.S. consumers for the week ended June 4.
Rising from No. 3 to the top spot on the streaming movies chart, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves began streaming on Paramount+ May 16. Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Regé-Jean Page, the film, based on the classic board game, follows a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic. But things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.
Season three of “Ted Lasso” started streaming in weekly episodes March 15. The 12-episode new season, which wrapped up May 31, finds the newly promoted AFC Richmond soccer team facing ridicule as media predictions peg them to finish last, while team manager Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work and personal issues back home.
