Charlize Theron’s action thriller ‘Apex’ continues to dominate Netflix, securing its position at the top of the platform’s weekly top 10 films for a second consecutive week.
During the week of April 27, ‘Apex’ amassed 40.2 million views, building on its strong debut performance of 38.2 million views the previous week (April 20). The film’s sustained popularity underscores its appeal among global audiences.
While ‘Apex’ claimed the weekly ratings crown, Netflix’s animated feature ‘Swapped’ made headlines with the biggest three-day opening for a Netflix animated film since ‘Leo’ in 2023. The film garnered 15.5 million views, placing it at No. 2 on the weekly list of most-watched English-language films.
‘Apex’ and ‘Swapped’ significantly outperformed the third-place film, ‘Thrash’, which attracted 4.3 million views.
