Things look a lot different on the most popular movies chart on Netflix this week, and to some extent, the US chart has embraced the changes too.
Leading the most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week is the action-adventure comedy reboot, Anaconda, starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd. The movie amassed 9.9million views worldwide, becoming the number one movie in seven countries, including the United States.
Ranked second on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week is the first part of the four-part UNTOLD series, Untold: The Life and Death of Lamar Odom. The documentary recently hit the streaming shelves on March 31st, and it clearly has sports enthusiasts glued to the screen.
Following the sports docu-film on the most popular movies chart in the US is an animated comedic blast from the past, Madagascar, which recently returned to Netflix and quickly appeared on the global top 10 weekly charts. But if you think that’s it, you must scroll on.
In the week from March 30th to April 5th, The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson garnered 6.7million views worldwide, ranking fourth on the most popular movies chart in the US. The true-crime documentary recounts the tragic murder of on-the-rise cyclist Moriah Wilson, the highly publicised investigation, pursuit, and the trial that followed, set against emotional interviews with her family, friends, and colleagues.
Moving on to what’s trending next on Netflix, it is Minions: The Rise of Gru at number five, getting more and more comfortable with each passing week.
Up next in line on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US is the 2026 post-apocalyptic horror movie that fans can’t seem to get enough of, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Since the sequel film’s streaming debut on March 31st, it has been making waves on Netflix, making its chart appearance nearly inevitable. Then again, The Bone Temple isn’t the only recent Netflix addition to make it to the charts.
