Extraction has come out on top of the first ranking of original movies released by Netflix, with a company-reported 99 million viewers in its first four weeks on the streaming service.

(...)

Netflix releases only select viewership data, emphasizing titles that perform well. Nielsen offers its own reports on Netflix viewing, but only in the U.S. The company has ramped up its original movie efforts significantly over the past couple of years, exploring a range of verticals, including animation. Its global reach and local production operations have helped it diversify its offerings and continue operating even during COVID-19 shutdowns.

Netflix Releases All-Time Top 10 Original Movie List, Headed By ‘Extraction’

"Extraction" is the top original movie ever released by Netflix, with a company-reported 99 million viewers in its first four weeks.

Keep in mind that this is calculated with their new metric where watching a movie for two minutes counts as a view.

Not too many surprises but I expected the Sandler movies to pull more.

Star power seems to really make a difference for some of these. Many of them are really rather mediocre but have high quality stars in them (Hemsworth, Bullock, Reynolds etc.), they really pull in the numbers.

Same. I also see 70+ movies every year. I'm not really into action movies, though, or "so bad they're good" movies so that's most of the list. I'm most surprised To All the Boys I Loved Before isn't on there. I thought that was a massive hit.

Didn't they change the criteria for having watched a piece of content, isn't it some ridiculous number like a minute or two?

Ugh, Spenser Confidential was such dogshit. Also I love Iliza Shlesinger, but every time she was on screen I cringed so hard it was almost audible. That accent work. Yuck.

Netflix movies are some of the most bland, boring films I've ever seen. Just a couple days ago I saw the Old Guard and my lord it was so mediocre

Actually surprised The Platform made it in the Top 10. And I dug Extraction. Well shot action movie. Doesn't bring anything special or new to the table, but I was entertained for the most part.

My Netflix hasn't lapsed in well over a decade and the only ones I've bothered watching are The Irishman and The Platform.

Even looking at the numbers, Bird Box is still the most hyped up one. I don't think I could go a day without seeing some stupid meme that first couple weeks that movie released.

Im happy Extraction is #1 because the setting/characters are often times never represented in Hollywood.

Seen 6 of those movies. Surprised at the Wahlberg movie was so popular?

I can never guess what these lists will include and in what order. So many mediocre films end up being runaway hits for them.

I didn't hear anyone talk about Spenser Confidential. And The Wrong Missy looked like, well, a David Spade film...

Wait, Bright isnt even on the list? Damn, I didn't think it was great but didn't think it deserved to flop that hard. Suprrised they're making a sequel.

I've seen about half of them. I really enjoyed Triple Frontier and don't think it gets enough love. Bird Box...meh. Extrication was solid, not perfect, but it had some of the best action scenes I've seen in a movie besides John Wick.

I have seen 3.1 of these.
I started Extraction and turned it off within 10 minutes.
Otherwise Bird Box, The Irishman, & The Platform.

Land of the Giants podcast doing episodes on Netflix is pretty eye opening of just how much they can flex on viewers and spark some social movement to watch even the most mediocre shows

I'm kind of amazed that Extraction had over 30M more viewers than The Irishman.
