Netflix has been tightlipped about the successes of its original titles, but for the first time ever, the streaming site is revealing the most popular films it has produced so far.
The top 10 most popular original movies are ranked based on the total number of viewers within the first four weeks of their releases.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 original films from Netflix accordingly:
1. Extraction
2. Bird Box
3. Spenser Confidential
4. 6 Underground
5. Murder Mystery
6. The Irishmen
7. Triple Frontier
8. The Wrong Missy
9. The Platform
10. The Perfect Date
The list was provided to Bloomberg, which noted similarities between the first four films. For one, they all included A-list celebrities, such as Chris Hemsworth, Sandra Bullock, Mark Wahlberg, and Ryan Reynolds.
Netflix also unveiled some notes of its viewership via Twitter. “A Spike Lee joint never fails—27 million have joined Da 5 Bloods so far,” the network wrote.
Within the same thread, the platform’s Twitter account also pointed out that the Steve Carrell-starring Space Force has amassed around 40 million views.
