Weekly Spotlight on Netflix’s Top Films
It’s that time of the week again, when we take a look at which films have been capturing the attention of viewers across the globe. This week’s list has one notable absence — for the first time in 42 weeks, KPop Demon Hunters is not making an appearance. The Oscar-winning animated film has finally slipped out of the global top 10, which is a relief as we had run out of things to say about it.
Despite this change, this week’s chart still offers a range of compelling content, from non-English language titles to true crime documentaries and more.
10. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – 5,900,000 views

The Peaky Blinders film, which topped the charts last week with over 19,000,000 views, has seen a significant drop this week, with its audience nearly halving. However, it remains a hit among fans of the TV series, who are eager to see the latest adventures of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy). The story follows Tommy returning from a self-imposed exile during World War II, facing a choice between his family and his country.
9. War Machine – 6,100,000 views
Another former chart topper, War Machine has also tumbled out of the top five this week despite adding more than six million viewers.

At number eight this week is this Canadian-produced sci-fi thriller from 2024.

In a world ravaged by plagues and wars, the clan must defend their homestead against a fresh and somewhat cannibalistic threat.
