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.

"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.

 

[rsfour]

lol bird box. Some real shitty movies there, Triple Frontier, 6 Underground, etc etc

 

[ratcliffja]

I've been subscribed for years and never seen any of these.

 

[Squirrel09]

My favorite from this list (that I've seen) is Murder Mystery. lol

 

[Dervius]

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.

 

[KG]

Extraction good? Bird Box was garbage imo.

 

[obin_gam]

Covid definately helped Extraction.
But it was a decent movie anyhoos.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Extraction is fine, I guess. Not the best action movie or anything.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Where is The Babysitter?! Should be number one...

 

[Gigglepoo]

I've been subscribed for years and never seen any of these.

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.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

This and the news they're giving the russo's a truckload to make that new movie make alot of sense together

 

[Deleted member 9932]

goddamn that is one big stinky list outside of the irishman.

 

[Pein]

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

 

[JayCB64]

I've seen two of these despite basically never not being subbed to Netflix, lmaoooo

 

[8byte]

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.

 

[Bentendo24]

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

 

[KillstealWolf]

Well at least Bright isn't on that list.

Don't tell me it's at number 11.

 

[Carnby]

I liked Bird Box. What's with the hate?

 

[purg3]

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.

 

[melikefishnchips]

lmao @ spenser confidential at number 3.

 

[Loud Wrong]

Missy on there and not Eurovision is sad.

Also, watch Dolemite. It should be on that list.

 

[Deleted member 8852]

Atleast the irishman was good.

 

[Nameless]

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

 

[HiLife]

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.

 

[maximumzero]

I uh...I haven't seen any of these films.

 

[SecondNature]

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

 

[THEVOID]

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

 

[jaymzi]

The Irishman really stands out here lol

 

[RetroDLC]

Where's Death Note?

 

[Newman96]

Where's Death Note?

Damn you for reminding me this exists.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I've been subscribed for years and never seen any of these.

Click to shrink...

Yup. Over a decade for me and have never ever even looked at any of these.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wow, the only one of those I've watched is Bird Box. A bunch I've not even heard of.

 

[TheGhost]

Spencer Confidential is excellence

 

[Kuro]

Wow almost every single one a bad movie. Irishman was okay. Too long though.

 

[Addleburg]

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...

 

[JasoNsider]

Marriage Story nowhere to be found? Not surprised, but it's easily one of their best.

 

[Nacho]

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.

 

[Boogs31]

Extraction good? Bird Box was garbage imo.

If you appreciate quality action filmmaking with neat set-pieces and choreography, it's worth a watch. It lacks from a story and character perspective.

I also thought Bird Box was garbage btw.

 

[Radec]

Will rewatch Murder Mystery. I liked it.

 

[Deleted member 31923]

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.

 

[yado]

I liked Bird Box. What's with the hate?

Click to shrink...

A lot of people liked it so people who didn't have to be as hyperbolic as possible to counter the adoration.

Also I open Netflix almost every day and I don't think I've ever heard of extraction.

 

[DirtyLarry]

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

 

[CloseTalker]

what the hell is spencer confidential lol

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Not surprised by the quality

 

[sAbobo]

Surprised on Bright, Deathnote, and the Cloverfield thing not making it.

 

[The Albatross]

I've had a netflix sub for a decade and I think I've watched only one of thesee, The Irishman. I haven't even heard of most of the others.

 

[studyguy]

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

 

[skrskg]

Happy to see that The Platform made it into the top 10. I loved it.

 

[Sain]

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

 

[shnurgleton]

I have heard of 2 of those

Netflix original content is so bottom barrel at this point it's embarassing
