What today's IMDb movies reveal

This is a 2026-slate board with one 1998 companion title. Practical Magic 2 at 2 and Practical Magic at 5 are a sequel pair, not two unrelated hits. Mayday holding 1 with the plot still listed as under wraps is curiosity, not a box-office print.

The timestamp moved and the names did not. That is the opposite of Google News today, where nine headlines flipped. Until a title enters or leaves, the IMDb MOVIEmeter API file is a stable watchlist, not a weekend reshuffle.

Practical Magic 2's 35 percent Tomatometer on 91 reviews is a critic print, not a MOVIEmeter rank change. Mayday's IMDb id tt28014327 is unchanged. The 2026-09-20T08:01:32.813075 refresh without a single name swap is the finding: a new timestamp, same 10 titles.

This ranked list came from the Trends MCP get_top_trends tool. The same API is built for analysts, editors, and developers who need a dated board instead of a screenshot. get_growth was skipped because MOVIEmeter rows are titles, not keywords with a matching source. The matching data source page is IMDb MOVIEmeter API.
