The Happening Hits No. 5 on Peacock's US Chart
M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 thriller The Happening ranks fifth among movies on Peacock in the US, ahead of New Moon and Signs.
M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 thriller The Happening has landed at Number 5 among movies in the United States on Peacock, according to data from September 30, 2026.
The film sits ahead of several other titles on the platform's US chart, including The Spongebob SquarePants Movie, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Signs. That places a second Shyamalan title, Signs, just below it in the rankings.
The showing marks a notable streaming resurgence for a movie that drew a mixed reception on its original release. The Happening opened on June 13, 2008, and went on to earn $168.4 million against a budget of around $60 million, per screenrant.com.
Critics were far less kind. The film holds a 17% critics score and a 24% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it picked up four Golden Raspberry Award nominations.
The Peacock result arrives during a busy stretch for Shyamalan. In October 2025, one day before the streaming data, Knock at the Cabin made waves on Netflix, and his film Remain premiered at Beyond Fest ahead of its February 5, 2027 theatrical release.
