The reign of “Queen Charlotte” isn’t over yet. During the week of July 17-July 23, the Shondaland title joined Netflix’s most popular titles list at No. 10 with 80.3 million views to date. The “Bridgerton” prequel series opened on May 4 and earned 148.28 million hours viewed on the Netflix Top 10 chart during the May 1-7 viewing window, making the show the most-viewed title during the viewing window. (Since the show’s release, Netflix has since changed its Global Top 10 metrics to reflect total views and hours viewed.)
On the non-english side, “Bird Box Barcelona” leads the Netflix Top 10 this week with 19 million total views. Like the original US film starring Sandra Bullock, the European film follows a similar sinister force that threatens to destroy humanity. Sebastián and his daughter begin their own great adventure of survival in Barcelona. The film opened in the No. 1 spot on the Non-English Films List following its July 14 debut.
