Netflix has revealed its top 10 most-watched original films since the platform launched, based on official viewership data.
Since bursting onto the scene, Netflix has captivated audiences worldwide. Its series like Stranger Things, Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), Lupin, and Bridgerton have become global phenomena, drawing in viewers from every corner. Movies, however, are no slouch—many classics have found new life on the service, while Netflix originals have shattered records.
Netflix recently shared the definitive list of its 10 highest-viewed films ever, showcasing the power of its storytelling.
For the second year running, Netflix has published its most-watched films rankings. Landing in 10th is The Midnight Sky, a gripping post-apocalyptic drama starring George Clooney as Augustine, an Antarctic scientist desperate to avert Earth's doom. Close behind is Army of the Dead, a thrilling zombie heist flick. Both Netflix originals drew nearly 72 million views each.
In 8th place: Project Power with 75 million views, trailed by Enola Holmes (76 million), featuring Millie Bobby Brown as Sherlock Holmes' clever sister. The Old Guard claims 6th, with Charlize Theron as the immortal Andy battling to protect humanity—captivating 78 million viewers.
Murder Mystery secures 5th with 83 million views. This hilarious whodunit stars Jennifer Aniston as Audrey and Adam Sandler as Nick, wrongly accused of murder aboard a luxury yacht. 6 Underground ties nearby at 83 million in 4th, while Spenser Confidential takes 3rd with over 85 million views.
Second place goes to the edge-of-your-seat thriller Bird Box, which riveted nearly 89 million viewers—Sandra Bullock's character must survive with her eyes shut. Topping the list: Tyler Rake (aka Extraction), starring Chris Hemsworth as a fearless mercenary, with nearly 99 million views!
