Netflix also disclosed which movies and TV shows topped the rankings for the final full week of December. These top 10 movies and shows broke the streaming service audience record in 2022. Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which launched last Friday, is currently the most-watched film on Netflix for the week ending December 19.
Alternative services like Disney+ and Paramount+ have been fiercely competing with Netflix in recent years as everyone tries to get a piece of the lucrative streaming market. Nevertheless, as we get ready to bid goodbye to 2022, Netflix has announced that, according to the Nielsen scale, it is still the most popular streaming service. Highly anticipated films like Glass Onion, which has already racked up 82.1 million view hours—roughly the equivalent of 35 million households—have contributed to the popularity of streaming services. Unexpected successes like Troll, though, also contributed to Netflix’s ascent to the top of the list. The monster film directed by Roar Uthaug immediately rose to the top of Netflix’s non-English film list.
The Gray Man by the Russo Brothers, Purple Hearts, and The Adam Project with Ryan Reynolds all made up some of Netflix’s top ten most viewed original movies of the year. The Tinder Swindler won the title of Netflix’s most popular documentary, while The Sea Beast grabbed the title of the animated children’s movie with Karl Urban’s voice. Only the streamer’s series library casts a shade on these amazing film outcomes.
