Welcome to your weekly rundown of the most important tales from Netflix’s high 10 hourly figures drop for the week ending October thirtieth, 2022.
Netflix updates its high 10 stats web page weekly with 40 new hourly figures of the highest films and reveals of the previous 7 days. If you wish to browse the highest 10 hourly information simply, go to our software.
Note: In this report of Netflix’s hours considered from October twenty fourth to October thirtieth, 2022, we’ll use “Complete Viewings Equivalent” or CVE, expressed in hundreds of thousands. That means we divide the hours considered introduced by Netflix by the runtime of movies or sequence. It permits for higher comparisons between movies and sequence, but it surely’s not an viewers metric. It is the minimal variety of viewings in the event that they had been all full from the primary second to the final of the movie or season. However, in its newest letter to shareholders, Netflix used the CVE metric to speak about The Gray Man, so there’s worth on this metric, nevertheless imperfect it may be.
1. The Good Nurse has a killer begin on Netflix

The School for Good and Evil saved its third place within the rating for the perfect launch for any movie launched on a Wednesday only one week as The good nurse kicked him out this week.
With 33.3M CVE in its first 5 days, it does a very good begin, and its viewers approval appears higher than The School for Good and Evil. So I count on it to stay round within the coming weeks.
2. All Quiet on the Western Front additionally begins very well.
The new adaptation of the e-book by Erich Maria Remarque has been positioned by Netflix as an award contender this season and it appears to equally please subscribers because it debuted with 12.8M CVE in simply 3 days, the fifth launch for any European Netflix movie in our dataset. The movie ought to enter the all time Top 10 for International movie in its third week. Its destiny will turn into clearer after its second week however I count on it to finish its 28-day run between 87 and 108 million hours considered. Its viewers approval score is likely one of the finest for any Netflix Original movies on IMDb to this point, with 7.9/10.
3. Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities underwhelms for its debut week.
With this sequence, Netflix tried a brand new launch format, with two episodes launched day by day over 4 days within the week main as much as Halloween. That ought to have made for a pleasant first week, however quite the opposite, it’s fairly underwhelming, with solely 6.2M CVE over its first 6 days.
We will see subsequent week if it picks up or not, as this fairly low launch may be due to its uncommon launch sample. But if it was a check, I’m unsure it carried out effectively. Live and study!
How is Cabinet of Curiosities performing vs Raising Dion S2, How to Sell Drugs Online and Gabby’s Dollhouse.
4. The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself doesn’t scare lots of people
Netflix appears to have accomplished plenty of advertising and marketing round The bastard son & the satan himself within the UK and the evaluations had been fairly good however finally, the brand new sequence did not make its mark with solely 2.1M CVE in its first three days. That’s the bottom launch for a brand new British sequence launched on a Friday.
5. Big Mouth is again for a sixth season.
One of the longest-running Netflix animated sequence was again for its sixth season, and it’s already renewed for a seventh one.
However, its launch alerts a major drop from season 5, with solely 3M CVE after three days, when season 5 did 4.2M in the identical time span.
6. Two movies got here again from the grave: Hubie Halloween and Lost Bullet
One of the most typical misconceptions about Netflix is that movies are buried deep contained in the catalog and nowhere to be discovered after launch. Again, this week proves that it’s a bit extra sophisticated than that.
Picture: Netflix
Hubie Halloween with Adam Sandler, launched in October 2020, managed to crawl again into the Top 10 this week, proving that it would turn into a Halloween season favourite for subscribers.
The second movie to return again is the French motion movie Lost Bullet, which added 2.1M CVE final week, two years and a half after its unique launch. The purpose may be apparent: the sequel is about to be launched on November 10, however I discover it fairly fascinating that folks would make an effort to (re)watch the movie in anticipation of the sequel’s launch they’d have identified about by the “Coming Soon” web page, for instance. It may additionally be that the movie is pushed extra by the algorithm in preparation for the discharge.
Anyways, it’s not the primary time previous Netflix movies are making their means again into the highest 10, an indication of what Netflix’s homepage does finest: always shuffling its catalog to make it really feel new to subscribers. If Netflix would launch weekly Top 20 or high 50, we’d see extra proof of that. Lost bullet, as an example, was within the high 10 4 occasions over the past 50 weeks.
7. A give attention to Fate: The Winx Saga cancellation.
Fate: The Winx Saga was canceled after two seasons.
Let’s look again at its evolution over its first month. The cancellation appears a bit stunning, particularly if we evaluate it to different seasons 2 of the English-speaking sequence.
Fate: The Winx Saga S2 vs different reveals. Those in inexperienced had been renewed and people in crimson are canceled.
The sequence did higher than Sweet magnolias for instance, which was renewed, but it surely additionally did noticeably decrease than different younger grownup sequence akin to Never Have I Ever and Outer Banks.
Viewership isn’t the one issue that comes into the renewal choice and for Fate: The Winx Saga, decay price might need been key.
First, the decay price between seasons 1 and a couple of was fairly steep.
According to Netflix, season 1 was began by 57M accounts over its first 28 days again in 2021. From what I may collect, my CVE metric is nearer to the starter numbers that was offered by Netflix than the completers numbers, so season 2, with its 25.5M CVE or so after 28 days, may be nearer to 35-40M starter, accounts than 57M for season 1.
Then, the decay price week after week for the second season was additionally noticeably larger than different sequence launched on a Friday.
So that may clarify why season 3 won’t ever see the sunshine of day.
