Django Unchained debuted at No. 4 and The Hateful Eight at No. 9 on Pluto TV's Top 10 Movies chart in the United States, according to FlixPatrol, after both films joined the service at the start of November. Friday, Next Friday and Friday After Next hold the top three spots on the same chart.
Why it matters
The chart debuts show that Tarantino's back catalog continues to draw viewers on free ad-supported streaming, and the placement gives U.S. audiences an easy way to watch two of his films without a paid subscription. Django Unchained's position suggests it has a better chance than The Hateful Eight of climbing into the top three.
Django Unchained, released in 2012, grossed $449 million worldwide and is Tarantino's highest-grossing film, while The Hateful Eight, released in 2015, grossed $161 million worldwide. Django Unchained received five Academy Award nominations and Tarantino won Best Original Screenplay for it.

Industry Dynamics
The chart placement fits a broader pattern in which free ad-supported services such as Pluto TV use established film catalogs to attract viewers alongside newer titles. Tarantino's films, which both grossed well at the box office, now sit alongside recent releases on a platform that competes for audiences without a subscription fee.
Viewers can watch Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight on Pluto TV, which is free to access with advertisements, so no paid subscription is needed to stream either film. Both titles' placement on the chart indicates they are currently among the most-watched options on the service in the United States.
The takeaway
Free ad-supported streaming can give older films a second audience, so checking a service's daily chart is a practical way to see what other viewers are choosing. Both films are available to watch at no subscription cost on Pluto TV in the United States.
