It is worth noting that the feature film achieved this feat by rising eight positions, that is, directly from number 9 to the top spot on HBO Max.

In the film, Washington stars alongside Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Jared Leto (“The Dallas Club”).
In “The Little Things” (“The Little Things”), Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should be a simple collection of evidence. However, he ends up getting involved in the pursuit of a serial killer who has been terrorizing the city.
Impressed by Deke’s instincts, sergeant and department leader Jim Baxter (Malek) unofficially asks him for help.
However, what Baxter doesn’t know is that as they try to track down the serial killer (Leto), the investigation is unearthing echoes of Deke’s past and disturbing secrets are about to be revealed.

In both situations, Leto was defeated by Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Black Messiah”) who would also triumph at the Academy.
