Will Swapped Be the #2 Netflix Movie This Week?

Swapped launched on Netflix around April 29 and immediately scrambled the US movie charts. The Skydance Animation film, starring Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple as a poodle and raccoon who swap bodies, debuted into a crowded leaderboard. The market opened this contract at 31 cents. Swapped cleared 45 cents within a day. That 12-cent jump tells a story, but the market still prices the number-two finish at just 44.5 percent.

Here’s what the market is missing. Swapped entered a chart where Apex, the Charlize Theron action film, held the top position through late April. Family animated titles tend to climb fast in the first week, then plateau. Swapped may already be above number two, which is exactly why 55.5 percent of capital bets against this specific placement.

How the Swapped Contract Works

This contract resolves YES if Swapped appears as the number-two US Netflix movie in the weekly chart that closes May 5, 2026. Netflix publishes official top-10 rankings each week. The resolution source is that published chart data.

• YES pays out at $0.45, implying a 44.5% probability Swapped lands at number two.
• NO pays out at $0.56, implying a 55.5% probability Swapped misses the second slot.

The path to a NO outcome runs through two scenarios. Swapped either rockets past number two to claim the top spot, or Swapped underperforms and falls to number three or lower. Apex holds the number-one position heading into this week. A title displaces Apex only with exceptional viewership numbers. The broader field, including Den of Thieves, The Proposal, and Miraculous World: Paris, competes for spots two through ten.

Market Signals: A Late Surge That Stopped Short

The momentum composite reads decelerating. Swapped carries a 1-hour change of 0.0%, a 24-hour change of plus 1.5%, and a trend score of 24.04. The math doesn’t lie: buying pressure arrived fast on April 29, then stalled. The trend score above 20 confirms this was a real move, not noise. But the flat hourly reading says conviction has cooled.

Volume confirms this is a thin, fast-moving market. Total volume sits at $599, with $594 of that arriving in the last 24 hours. Liquidity depth is $3,256. That combination means a single large trade reshapes this contract entirely. Low open interest at zero dollars suggests traders are not holding positions overnight in size.

• Swapped saw a 12% price jump on April 29, aligned with its Netflix debut or first chart appearance.
• The 1-hour price change of 0.0% signals the initial surge has run its course.
• The 24-hour gain of plus 1.5% keeps momentum positive but barely.
• $594 of $599 total volume traded in the last 24 hours, flagging this as an event-driven spike.
• Liquidity at $3,256 means price is sensitive to any new information about the weekly chart.

Lines Analysis: Swapped in a Squeeze

Swapped enters this week with genuine momentum. Family animation attracts weekend streaming audiences, and Skydance’s production (Michael B. Jordan, Juno Temple, Tracy Morgan, Cedric the Entertainer) carries broad appeal. A new release climbing from 31 cents to 45 cents inside 24 hours reflects real trader conviction that Swapped belongs near the top of the chart.

The risk is placement precision. Apex held the number-one ranking through late April. Swapped hitting number one beats the YES contract. Apex staying at number one while Swapped underperforms puts Swapped at number three or lower, also a NO. The market pays YES only for the exact second slot. That narrow target is what caps this contract below 50 cents.

• Apex retaining number one would force Swapped into a fight for second, boosting YES probability toward 55 to 60 cents.
• Swapped displacing Apex at number one collapses the YES contract toward zero.
• New competition from Roommates, Bugonia, or other May titles would push Swapped lower, increasing NO probability.
• A gap in strong competition below Swapped keeps the second slot in play through May 5.
• Netflix official chart update timing before resolution could trigger a sharp price move in either direction.

The $599 in total volume is too thin to anchor strong conviction. The data leans toward YES having a plausible but not dominant case. Fifty-five percent of the market disagrees with the number-two placement, and that majority reflects placement risk, not opposition to Swapped’s performance overall.

LINES VERDICT

Swapped Misses the Exact Slot

The market prices Swapped as a top-chart performer, not a guaranteed number-two finish. Placement risk, not viewership doubt, drives the NO majority.

What the market says: 44.5% probability Swapped lands at number two, with this thin-volume contract highly sensitive to Netflix’s official weekly update before the May 5, 2026 resolution date.

Entertainment Market Dynamics

Family animation titles follow a predictable debut arc on Netflix. First-week viewership tends to cluster in the first three days after launch. Swapped dropped around April 29, meaning its peak viewership window falls squarely inside this resolution week. The title has the audience profile to compete for the top two slots. What this market cannot resolve is whether Swapped overshoots the target entirely by landing at number one.

The related market for Highest Grossing Movie in 2026 prices at 67 percent, and the Stranger Things episode release market sits at 8 percent. Neither directly links to Swapped’s chart position. Before May 5, the key catalyst is Netflix’s published weekly chart, which could trigger an immediate reprice of this contract in either direction.

When does this resolve? The contract resolves May 5, 2026, based on Netflix’s official US weekly movie chart for the relevant period.
