The most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week brings a kaleidoscopic view of all that’s trending regionally, and at one glance, it can be summarised as a mixed bag.

Starting right at the top, we have Joe’s College Road Trip leading the pack on the most popular movies chart. With 10.4million views amassed globally in the second week since the road comedy movie’s release on Netflix, the Madea cinematic universe spin-off is clearly occupying the majority of Netflix watchlists. While it’s undoubtedly a chart-topper in the US, it’s also the number one movie in seven more countries.

Up next, there’s a survival thriller, Fall, making waves on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US. Currently ranked second, the 2022 movie tells the story of two best friends who climb a rickety abandoned radio tower, only to get stuck with no way to come back down.

With nothing in the proximity to provide help and dwindling supplies putting them officially on the clock, the film is packed with the kind of confined edge-of-your-seat stuff that will leave you sweating in freezing temperatures.

That said, on number three, there’s a box office bomb trending on the US charts, The Expendables 4, AKA Expend4bles. Serving as the fourth instalment in The Expendables film series, which was recently added to the US library, the action film, directed by Scott Waugh, reunites the franchise stars, Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone, for a high-stakes mission.

Ranked fourth on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week is the live-action remake of the animated action-adventure film directed by Dean DeBlois, How to Train Your Dragon. Meanwhile, rounding out the top five titles is the classic black comedy film, The Addams Family.

Succeeding the 1991 film is the animated fantasy musical that fans clearly cannot get enough of, KPop Demon Hunters. Just so you know, the Golden Globe-winning movie, co-directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, is currently in its 36th week of tenure on the most popular movies chart on Netflix globally.

While some may regard the KPop Demon Hunters‘ chart streak as a miracle, what’s also trending on Netflix US this week is a poignant emotional drama, A Father’s Miracle. Following it closely on the most popular movies chart is The Addams Family 2, which also sneaked into the global charts this time around.

Lastly, ranked eighth on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US is yet another Jason Statham-led action thriller, Homefront, followed by another entry from the genre, The Orphans.
