"Red Notice," the latest Netflix movie starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, is presently the streaming giant's most popular movie, according to a new statistic given by the streaming giant, and it is on course to become the most-watched movie of all time.
Netflix launched a new website on Tuesday that calculates the amount of hours customers spend watching its most popular films and series by the number of hours they spend watching them. As previously reported, "Squid Game" is the most popular television show on the site, while the new action-adventure picture has proven to be a huge success for the platform.
They embark on a worldwide trip that takes them into the high-stakes world of art theft, where they are forced to form uneasy friendships with one another in order to track down a treasure from ancient Egypt, which they eventually find.
148.7 million hours have been spent watching Rawson Marshall Thurber's "Red Notice" on Netflix since it premiered on the streaming service on November 12. This is according to the streaming service's new metric. The most watched series in the past week was season three of "Narcos: Mexico," which received 50.3 million hours of viewing time. The first season of "Squid Game," on the other hand, is the most watched show or film on Netflix ever, with 1.6 billion hours of viewing time.
Every Tuesday, Netflix will update the webpage "Top10 on Netflix" with the top ten series and films available on the streaming service, according to the company. Until now, Netflix has been circumspect about disclosing audience statistics. It has shared views for hits on occasion, and it logs a top 10 list, without any data, on the service's own server for future reference.
Despite the fact that the hours-viewed number replaces Netflix's prior "views," which could count only a few minutes of a movie or series, the new metric is more accurate. Other big streaming services, such as Amazon Prime Video and Disney+, do not reveal viewing statistics on a regular basis.
In addition, Netflix's metrics do not indicate how many people actually watched a film or series on the service, and they do not include films or series that do not rank among the service's top 10. Netflix, on the other hand, has embraced it as the most transparent measurement method available.
Pablo Perez De Rosso, Netflix's vice president of content strategy, wrote in a blog post on Tuesday that the company's "new partnership with Netflix is a significant step forward for Netflix, the creators we work with, and our members." "People want to know what it takes to be successful in the streaming era, and these lists provide the clearest answer to that issue available in our industry," says the author.
Netflix will publish rankings in both English and non-English, as well as top-10 lists for more than 90 countries in the coming months. The corporation said that it has retained the accounting firm EY to conduct an audit of its financial records.

At the current rate of growth, "Red Notice," which earned generally negative reviews from reviewers, might surpass all previous Netflix films in terms of viewership. With 282 million hours of viewing time, the 2018 Sandra Bullock thriller "Bird Box" presently holds the record for the most watched movie of all time.
