Top trending movies on IMDb: August 23, 2026

Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains #1 on IMDb MOVIEmeter on August 23. The top 10 titles and order match August 21 exactly, including The Odyssey at #2 and Tangled (2028) at #10. Deadline's weekend wrap still had Brand New Day near $39 million in its fourth frame, with Insidious: Out of the Further opening behind it. The feed timestamp is August 23, so this is a live pull of a still board. The fourth weekend print is dated August 23, two days after the August 21 snapshot that already had the same ten titles.

  1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    Holds #1 after the July 31, 2026 release. Deadline put the fourth weekend near $39 million as of Sunday. Same rank as August 21.

  2. The Odyssey (2026)

    Christopher Nolan's epic holds #2, unchanged. No new August 23 booking story was found.

  3. The End of Oak Street (2026)

    Holds #3, unchanged. No new August 23 trailer was found.

  4. The Last House (2026)

    Holds #4, unchanged.

  5. Avengers: Doomsday (2026)

    Holds #5. YouTube still has trailer-breakdown rows, but the IMDb rank did not move versus August 21.

    Holds #6, unchanged.

  7. The Invite (2026)

    Holds #7, unchanged.

What changed on IMDb since yesterday

No August 22 IMDb daily ran. Versus August 21: new none, drop-offs none, movers none. The published cut is identical.

A frozen MOVIEmeter top 10 still matters next to a moving box office. Brand New Day at #1 matches its $39 million fourth weekend, while Insidious: Out of the Further opened to about $25.3 million on August 21 and does not appear in this IMDb cut at all. The Odyssey at #2 through Tangled (2028) at #10 are the same nine titles as Friday, including two 2028 dated rows at #8 and #10 and one 2025 title, Obsession, at #6.

That split says MOVIEmeter here is tracking established theatrical and Marvel inventory, not Sunday's horror opening. YouTube's Doomsday stack is louder than IMDb's unchanged #5. Avengers: Doomsday at #5 has sat in that slot on both August 21 and August 23 even as new breakdown videos hit YouTube Trending. See the IMDb MOVIEmeter API.

This list is the August 23 get_top_trends snapshot for type IMDb MOVIEmeter with limit 10. Teams that watch ranks as they move, not after a recap, can call the same feed as new rows arrive. The generating call:
