Pictured: One Piece, Love at First Sight
Welcome to your weekly rundown of the largest tales from Netflix’s high 10 hourly figures drop for the week ending September seventeenth, 2023. Lots to cowl this week together with One Piece, Love at First Sight, Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction, El Conde, Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons, and Once Upon a Crime.
Every Tuesday, Netflix updates its high 10 stats web page with 40 new hourly figures of the highest motion pictures and reveals of the previous seven days. If you wish to browse the highest 10 hourly information simply, go to our software, which was up to date over the summer season with much more information from the Nielsen high 10s.
Note: In this report of Netflix’s hours seen from September eleventh, 2023 to September seventeenth, 2023, we’ll use “Complete Viewings Equivalent,” or CVE, expressed in hundreds of thousands. That means we divide the hours seen introduced by Netflix by the runtime of movies or collection. It permits for higher comparisons between movies and collection, 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.
1. One Piece is renewed for a second season.
The hit collection One Piece has been renewed for a second season, which we predicted for the reason that first numbers it acquired, however noticeably, it wasn’t renewed for 2 new seasons, simply the one, that means {that a} good season 2 begin will probably be key for the way forward for the collection. It has been within the charts for 3 weeks now, which permits us to match it to different collection in our dataset after 14 days, and right here’s what we will see.
First, One Piece did the fourth-best launch for a brand new US collection launched since June 2021 with 42.7M CVEs (excluding restricted collection).

If we simply take a look at the brand new US collection launched in 2023 (together with restricted collection), One Piece did the third-best launch of the 12 months to this point, behind The Night Agent and Queen Charlotte.
It’s good total however I can’t assist however suppose that if that CVE numbers had been larger by, let’s say, 10-15M, the collection would have been renewed for 2 seasons.
2. Love at First Sight is ending the Summer of Love on a great notice.
Netflix has had a fairly horrible “Summer of Love” in 2023 with disappointments throughout. Rom-com Love at First Sight with Haley Lu Richardson is the final one within the line-up this 12 months and it did a really first rate begin with 14.1M CVEs, the very best launch for a Netflix US rom-com this 12 months.

What is puzzling right here is that Love at First Sight is a (pleasant) Christmas rom-com launched in the midst of September. Rightly positioned round November, it in all probability might have finished even higher. Another puzzling factor is why on Earth would you not identify this movie Love at First Flight because it talks about how two strangers fell in love throughout a transatlantic flight. I imply, it was proper there.
3. Prestige movies season is upon us and two worldwide movies launch it.
Every 12 months now, come September it’s the beginning of “prestige films season,” which can finish across the first week of January.
This is when Netflix releases all of its awards hopeful, American movies for probably the most half, but in addition worldwide movies that performed in the course of the fall festivals. Last week, two of them had been launched.
First up is Bille August’s Danish interval movie Ehrengard, which did a comparatively modest launch with solely 4.3M CVEs over its first 4 days, however status movies are normally not probably the most watched crowd pleasers, so let’s simply say that it’s fairly good for what the movie is: a Danish interval movie.
The identical may be stated for Pablo Larrain’s directed El Conde which did a muted launch with just one.2M CVEs over its first three days, the worst launch for a movie from Latin America launched on a Friday.
Who might have thought {that a} Chilean black-and-white satire movie imagining that dictator Pinochet was a vampire who wished to finish his life wouldn’t be a large hit? Audiences work in mysterious methods. But status movies’ purpose is elsewhere. It’s about preserving relationships with abilities and have some recognition on the awards circuit, not a lot about doing large numbers on the service.
4. Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons is again for a seventh season and followers are in.
The seventh season of the long-running docuseries Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons was simply launched and it launched with 1.8M CVEs over its first three days of launch. It’s a begin fairly just like the one in every of season 6 (which was launched on a Wednesday on the time), so followers of the collection are nonetheless right here.
5. Once Upon a Crime is writing fairly a pleasant story within the charts.
Netflix Japan is on a roll these days after the success of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead over the summer season.
They have one other fairly good hit on their fingers with Once Upon a Crime, during which Little Red Riding Hood hunts criminals who dedicated crimes in well-liked fairy tales. The movie launched with 5.4M CVEs, the fourth-best launch for an Asian Netflix movie launched since June 2021.
The movie managed to interrupt by in Europe and Latin America, which is sweet for a Japanese movie.
That’s all for this week; be happy to tell us what you suppose within the feedback beneath.
