What today's IMDb trends reveal
The September 8 MOVIEmeter is a streaming-plus-theatrical mix: Mayday (already out on Apple TV) at 1, then Whisper Man, Odyssey, Mandalorian and Grogu, Spider-Man, and Coyote vs. Acme as 2026 look-aheads. Obsession (2025) at 10 is the leftover.
You Can See Everything's Telluride teaser moved Google Trends, Wikipedia, and YouTube. It is not on this MOVIEmeter top 10. Reynolds and Branagh's 111-minute Apple TV title is the only row with a past-tense release date (September 4). The other nine are look-aheads or the 2025 leftover. Collider's 80 percent critic figure is a review score, not an IMDb rank.
