What today's IMDb titles reveal

The IMDb MOVIEmeter API refreshed the timestamp without changing a rank. as_of 2026-09-16T08:01:28.677561 replaced 2026-09-15T08:01:40.464169. Practical Magic occupies 2 and 5 as a sequel/original pair. 2026 labels sit on 9 of 10 rows; only the 1998 original breaks that pattern.

Perry's threequel at 9 is the one title with a dated 2026 distribution event (Netflix, September 9) that still matches a Google Trends query the same morning. Mayday holding 1, Whisper Man at 4, Runner at 6, Supergirl at 7, Brand New Day at 8, and Hope at 10 are 2026 labels without a matching September 16 release note in the fetches used here. The Odyssey at 3 is the same fixture as September 15.
