A Surprising Sequel Is the Most-Watched Movie on Netflix

I proceed to be considerably obsessive about Netflix’s Prime Tens web site, the place you’ll be able to see the preferred movies and exhibits on the streaming service ever, in addition to the preferred titles on any given week. It additionally permits you to view the preferred 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 positioning is up to date each Tuesday, and this week it reveals that probably 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 grew to become 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 films within the Netflix Prime 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 listing with 10 million hours consumed. Right here’s the total prime ten listing of the most-watched films 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 towards the title.

There’s a lesson right here: By no means underestimate the facility of nudity. That’s what individuals wish to watch. Nicely, that and Shrek. Folks simply love that ogre, even when that film is now 21 years outdated.
