As of October 1st, 2025, it appears that Paul Thomas Anderson's filmography is experiencing a significant resurgence in streaming popularity, thanks in large part to the critical acclaim surrounding his latest release, "One Battle After Another."
According to data from JustWatch, an online platform that tracks movie and TV streaming availability, several of Anderson's previous films have seen a substantial increase in viewership interest over the past month. The biggest beneficiary of this boost has been "Inherent Vice," which saw a staggering 557% jump in streaming interest, placing it at 11th on the U.S. streaming charts as of September 30th.
Other PTA titles have also experienced notable gains, with "Licorice Pizza" and "Phantom Thread" seeing increases of 361% and 316%, respectively. Even the director's lesser-discussed works, such as "Hard Eight," have experienced a significant 315% surge in streaming popularity.
This renewed interest in Anderson's filmography can be directly attributed to the overwhelming critical praise for "One Battle After Another," which has been hailed as a masterpiece and one of the best-reviewed films of the year.
