The 10 most popular movies on Netflix US this week: July 2026

US subscribers are clearly not on the same page as the rest of the world regarding this week’s most popular movies chart on Netflix, and once you scroll down a little, you’ll probably understand what we’re getting at.

During the week of June 29th to July 5th, the most popular movies chart across the globe found a new flagbearer, thanks to the Victorian-era sleuth who made a chart-topping comeback. However, in the US, the top spot belongs to the dynamic comedic duo, John Cena and Eric Andre, who most recently breathed life into a laugh-out-loud Netflix comedy, Little Brother.

In the week ending July 5th, Little Brother amassed a whopping 12.7million on the international most popular movies chart, becoming the number one movie in five countries, including the United States, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Kenya, and South Africa. While it failed to crack the top spot globally, ranking third in it, the comedic punch-fest is now seated at the throne in the US.

Following closely on the most popular movies chart in the US is the mystery detective movie, Enola Holmes 3, directed by Philip Barantini. Unsurprisingly, the Netflix original thriller debuted at the top of the international charts. However, in the US, it is ranked second.

Up next on the most popular movies chart in the US, we have the heartwarming rom-com, Voicemails for Isabelle, that throws Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson back to their genre roots. While the movie has been busy trailblazing since its release three weeks ago, the US chart is also not short of blasts from the past.

Right next on the most popular movies chart, we have Spider-Man: Homecoming, positioned fourth, which can be found in the second half of the global chart this week. Meanwhile, following it is Jessica Dimmock’s spine-chilling true-crime documentary, Maternal Instinct, that has kept viewers busy collecting their jaws off the floor.

The animation frenzy extends to Minions: The Rise of Gru, which is currently ranked sixth on the most popular movies chart in the US. While the animated gem has clearly risen through the ranks, succeeding it is the 2024 thriller, Hunting Housewives.

Ranked seventh on the most popular movies chart in the US this week is the ultimate anti-Valentine’s Day thriller, Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher. Despite its relatively recent addition to the US library, the cult classic is already sprinkling its magic.

Finally, coming to the final two candidates, we have back-to-back animated movies once again: The Boss Baby at ninth, followed by KPop Demon Hunters on the tenth. And with that, it’s officially a wrap for the week.
