A Shocking Sequel Is the Most-Watched Film on Netflix

I proceed to be considerably obsessive about Netflix’s High Tens web site, the place you possibly can see the most well-liked movies and exhibits on the streaming service ever, in addition to the most well-liked titles on any given week. It additionally helps you to view the most well-liked titles in each nation on the planet the place Netflix is obtainable, a few of that are very stunning. You by no means know what bizarre stuff you’re going to seek out inexplicably well-liked in nations like Iceland or Peru. (This week: 47 Meters Down: Uncaged! It’s the #4 film in Peru child!)

The location is up to date each Tuesday, and this week it reveals that essentially the most watched film on Netflix in the meanwhile — by a extensive margin — was 365 Days: This Day, a steamy erotic thriller from Poland that’s a sequel to 365 Days, which turned a shock hit on Netflix final spring. Subscribers simply couldn’t get sufficient; they watched 77.9 million hours of 365 Days: This Day final week, which was nearly as a lot as the opposite 9 motion pictures within the Netflix High Ten mixed. (The opposite 9 movies have been watched a complete of 79 million hours final week.)

With the sequel topping the charts, the unique 365 Days jumped again into the highest ten as properly; it was #4 on the record with 10 million hours consumed. Right here’s the total high ten record of the most-watched motion pictures on Netflix final week:

By the best way, 77.9 million hours of 365 Days: This Day roughly equates to 3.24 million days, in case you’re questioning how that stacks up in opposition to the title.

There’s a lesson right here: By no means underestimate the ability of nudity. That’s what folks need to watch. Properly, that and Shrek. Individuals simply love that ogre, even when that film is now 21 years outdated.
