Netflix's most-watched movies: 'Red Notice' tops with 230 million views

Netflix releases a new hit with a star-studded cast almost every week. The latest production that platform users can watch is "A Family Affair" with Nicole Kidman, Joey King, and Zac Efron. Just around the corner is the premiere of "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" with Eddie Murphy returning to his iconic role. Currently, "The Veteran" with Jessica Alba is causing a stir—so far, her film has recorded 24 million views. However, it still has a long way to go before reaching number one on Netflix's most extensive hits list. So, what were the most-watched movies on this platform?

Netflix presented 20 of its biggest hits: 10 English-language and 10 non-English-language films. The critically panned "Red Notice" leads the first list, with Gal Gadot in the lead role. Gadot is sometimes portrayed as the most dangerous art thief in this rather absurd story. She was being hunted by FBI profiler John Hartley, played by Dwayne Johnson, who was working with another thief, Nolan Booth, played by Ryan Reynolds. "Red Notice" has 230.9 million views, and viewers spent 454.2 million hours watching the film.

In second place is the Oscar-nominated "Don't Look Up" with 171.4 million views, and in third place is "The Adam Project" with 157.6 million views.

And what non-American productions have won viewers' hearts in recent years? Number one is the Norwegian "Troll" from 2022. The film about a giant mythical creature coming to life and terrorizing Norway has 103 million views. In second place is last year's Spanish Oscar contender, "The Snow Society," about a plane crash in the Andes that 16 people survived.
