Stream Rating: "The Wonka Golden Ticket" took the top spot

"East of Eden" also has a good opening week for Netflix.

After a strong opening, Wonka's the Golden Ticket climbed to the top spot overall in Nielsen's streaming ratings in its second week of airing. Netflix's East of Eden also had a good start.

The Golden Ticket, a Netflix competition based on the world of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (and featuring an AI-generated voice modeled after the film's star Gene Wilder), watched 1.08 billion minutes for the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 4. That's a 26% improvement from the show's opening week, when it finished fifth overall.
