It is the minimal variety of viewings in the event that they have been all full from the primary second to the final of the movie or season.
1. Beef and Hunger soar of their second week.
Two titles had nice second weeks within the charts, with the primary one being Beef which is being submitted as an anthology sequence to the Emmy and at present stands because the best-reviewed new Netflix sequence of 2023. It doubled its hours seen within the second week, a uncommon feat for brand spanking new US sequence launched on a Thursday. That’s all regardless of the ongoing controversy surrounding one in all its primary stars.
The second title doing wonders is the Thai thriller Hunger which almost tripled its numbers from its first week (granted, it was launched on a Saturday, which helps). The movie is on monitor to land within the all-time Top 10 for worldwide movies after its first 28 days, which isn’t any small feat.

Two movies tailored from a sequence having profitable launches? Expect extra of them within the coming years, presumably!
3. Watchers are fairly obsessive about Obsession
Sexy sequence and movies at all times are fairly a draw on Netflix (bear in mind the numbers for the 365 Days trilogy?

Its numbers ought to fall off rapidly after its first week, with solely 4 quick episodes making up the sequence.
4. Queenmaker is just not ruling the charts.
Last week marked the worst week on document for the cumulative hours seen of the Top 10 International charts and a whopping -49% decline in comparison with the identical week final yr.
So Queenmaker making it to first place on this chart final week is good, but it surely mustn’t cover the truth that these are lackluster numbers for a brand new South Korean sequence launched on a Friday, with just one.3M CVEs.
It may choose up some steam within the coming weeks as it’s a very lengthy sequence, however nonetheless, that’s fairly disappointing within the wake of the success of The Glory.
5. Florida Man hits a tree.
There’s no renewal at stake for Florida Man with Edgar Ramirez, because it’s a restricted sequence, but it surely’s no success both, racking up solely 4.4M CVEs throughout its first 4 days.
It’s higher than Unstable, but it surely’s within the decrease finish of the vary for brand spanking new US sequence launched on a Thursday, the brand new most popular day for releasing US sequence for Netflix.
