Verity at 2 is the Hoover theatrical that also sits on Amazon Top Rated at rank 9 and Google Trends at rank 10. Unabomber at 3 is a September 25 Netflix hold with a 7D youtube print of plus 127.27 percent. Resident Evil sliding from 1 to 4 is the cleanest incumbent drop. Toy Story 5 leaving the ten is the family-film exit after two adult thrillers entered the top 2.
