Tom Hanks’ Forgotten Thriller Is Officially a 300-Day Streaming Superhit
A survival story finds viewers
Hanks starred in Finch, released on Apple TV in 2021, when many moviegoers lacked access to theaters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film follows a man in a post-apocalyptic world, accompanied by a single robot.
The story has similarities to The Last of Us, but takes a more heartfelt approach. More than five years after joining Apple TV’s global library, Finch continues to appear among the platform’s most-watched films.
A long run in the top 10
In 2026, Finch has spent over 300 days in Apple TV’s top 10 in at least one country. That is nearly the whole year, according to the report.
The film joins F1 and The Gorge among titles that have reached this milestone. The report does not identify which country’s chart Finch has appeared on.
