Netflix’s Top 10 Most Popular Movies: The Final Rankings Are In

Netflix has released an updated list of its top 10 most popular movies of all time, based on global view counts during each film’s first 91 days on the service. The rankings show a mix of action hits, big-name thrillers, and newer originals that climbed quickly with huge audiences.

A “view” on Netflix counts when someone watches at least two minutes of a movie, showing how many accounts started it. “Hours viewed” measures the total time people spent watching, which reflects how much of the movie they actually watched and how engaged viewers were.

At No. 1 is none other than KPop Demon Hunters, the 2025 animated film about a pop group doubling as demon fighters, which topped the list with 325.1 million views. Other titles near the top include Red Notice (230.9 million views) and Carry-On, a 2024 holiday-set thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman (172.1 million views).

The list also features familiar Netflix hits like Don’t Look Up, The Adam Project, Bird Box, and Ryan Gosling’s The Gray Man, along with newer releases such as Back in Action, which reunites Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx.

Here’s the full Netflix top 10 global list of all time, with rankings based on total views:
