Reelgood—a streaming aggregator that tracks every TV show and movie available online—tracked the 20 most-watched movies Americans consumed from home this weekend across SVOD services like Netflix (NFLX), AVOD platforms like Tubi, and via TVOD or rent/buy sources such as Google Play and iTunes. The data found that four out of the 20 most-watched movies have Boseman in the lead role. The Jackie Robinson biopic 42 claimed the third spot, Black Panther came in fifth, 21 Bridges sits at the 14th spot and Marshall caps off the list as the 20th most-watched movie in America this past weekend.

42 and Marshall are only available to watch online via rent/buy platforms, which means millions of viewers were willing to spend money for Boseman’s leading non-Marvel roles. Following his passing last Friday, the Disney-owned ABC aired Black Panther commercial free on Sunday night, drawing 6.1 million viewers as the top broadcast. Fans have taken to Twitter with watch-parties of Boseman’s films to pay tribute to the star.
