It additionally allows you to view the preferred titles in each nation on the planet the place Netflix is obtainable, a few of that are very shocking. You by no means know what bizarre stuff you’re going to seek out inexplicably fashionable in nations like Iceland or Peru. (This week: 47 Meters Down: Uncaged! It’s the #4 film in Peru child!)

The location is up to date each Tuesday, and this week it reveals that essentially the most watched film on Netflix in the meanwhile — by a vast margin — was 365 Days: This Day, a steamy erotic thriller from Poland that’s a sequel to 365 Days, which turned a shock hit on Netflix final spring. Subscribers simply couldn’t get sufficient; they watched 77.9 million hours of 365 Days: This Day final week, which was virtually as a lot as the opposite 9 motion pictures within the Netflix Prime Ten mixed.
