Netflix has once again unveiled a lineup of films that have been at the top of their pecking order. Let’s dive into the top ten films that have been dominating during the week of August 7th to August 13th, 2023.
At the peak of the list is Heart of Stone, the Gal Gadot and Alia Bhatt-starring action rollercoaster. Clocking in at 69.6million hours viewed, this two-hour and six-minute is clearly being passively consumed by many.
