Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, with over 300 million subscribers. And just what do those people tend to watch? In particular, what is the most popular movie on Netflix? Each week, the streaming service releases a list of its 10 most-watched movies over a recent seven-day period to keep subscribers in the loop regarding its most popular titles.
One of Netflix’s benefits is movies with a small audience can become huge streaming hits. To Catch a Killer is a huge case in point. The little-seen thriller is now the No. 1 movie. Similarly, Trial by Fire, another movie that generated little buzz upon its release, comes in at No. 2. Below, we’ve listed the top 10 movies in the U.S. from February 17 to February 23, along with general information about each film, such as genre, rating, cast, and synopsis.
