Pedro Pascal’s Controversial 2025 Movie Tops Streaming Charts
According to FlixPatrol, which tracks viewership data worldwide across all the streaming services, the Pedro Pascal-starring Eddington from Hereditary director Ari Aster has rocketed to the #1 position on HBO Max. The new film premiered on the service just last week, arriving on Friday, November 14th. Immediately upon its release, the film flew to the top and has been the #1 movie on HBO Max in the United States for the past three days.
In the process of climbing to the top of the chart, though, Pascal has pushed his own movie out of the top spot. Prior to Eddington’s premiere, Materialists, in which he stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, had been the #1 movie on HBO Max in the United States for over a week. Since
Globally, Eddington
It’s a little surprising that Eddington has managed this largely due to its controversial nature, as the film is set during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and lampoons a variety of elements, namely conspiracy theories. The film pulls no punches in what it makes fun of, which, coupled with audiences perhaps not wanting to revisit this period of time, makes it quite surprising to see it maintain its place at the top of the charts.
The Walking Dead icon Norman Reedus says emotional goodbye to Daryl Dixon role after 15 years
After 15 years, Norman Reedus is officially laying down his crossbow and saying goodbye to The Walking Dead and, more importantly, his beloved character Daryl.
The actor, who became a fan favourite in the original series of the sci-fi phenomenon, shared a message on social media to mark his last day filming the final season of spin-off show Daryl Dixon.
"Last filming day today for [Daryl Dixon]," he wrote on X. "It’s been such a joy for me to play this guy with all of u for this long. I feel really blessed. Truly. Thank you all really from my heart."
Daryl first appeared in the third episode of The Walking Dead, and soon captured fans' hearts and imaginations as he transformed from a selfish loner to a crucial member of the core group, becoming a character pretty much built into the DNA of the show.
When the original series ended in 2022, the Walking Dead franchise continued in the form of multiple spin-offs, with Daryl being washed up in France in the first two seasons of his show, before heading to Spain, and attempting to find his way home.
Season 2 also saw Daryl reunite with Melissa McBride's Carol, reforming one of the most iconic and well-loved partnerships in the show.
It was announced earlier this year that Daryl Dixon would end with season 4.
In a statement at the time, Reedus said: "Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It's been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it's been embraced.
"Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn't just an ending; it's a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl's journey is far from over."
