Netflix’s top 10 for the week of December 26- January 1 has been released.
Starting with the TV side of things, Wednesday is still doing big numbers in its 6th week on the service. There has been several reports this week claiming that Wednesday would be moving to amazon as they now own MGM. However it has been confirmed that won’t be happening so we are just waiting for the renewal from Netflix. They may be working in a several season renewal and redoing contract with its main cast, so that could explain why it’s taking longer.
Emily in Paris Season 3 is also still doing strong numbers in its second week and also had both its previous seasons pop up in the top 10 as well. This seems to be a sleeper hit for Netflix as not many people talk about it, unless they are saying how bad it is, but it doesn’t stop peole from tuning in expect a season 4 announcement in the coming weeks.
In other news, Treason debuted at number 4 and had soffits h numbers, however that can be due to the smaller amount of episodes and shows that Charlie Cox is a draw for people on the small screen. The Recruit is also still doing good numbers and I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a season 2 announcement for that soon as well. The Witcher Blood Origins has also gone up but is still nowhere near the original show, meaning that it looks like the show may be in danger without Henry Cavil in the main role.
Over on the movie side, Glass Onion exploded on the service after Christmas and is now in track to be the third biggest film of all time for Netflix. This will surely make the executives who made hundreds of millions of dollars to secure this franchise and the next two films. With the release of the third instalment it will be in testing to see if they keep the same strategy used for Glass Onion or if they allow it to be in theatres for a longer duration.
The new Matilda Musical managed to debut at number 2 and even though it didn’t debut with the strongest numbers it has been doing well in the UK, where it has been playing in cinemas over the Christmas period. However it had a better debut then White Noise which only came in at 4th place. I did watch that film and I must say it is a weird one and defiantly not for everyone.
That is Netflix’s rating, what did you watch and did any of those numbers surprise you?
