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

If the most popular movies chart on Netflix this week felt one-sided, with fans boosting up a specific sci-fi action film franchise almost as if intentionally, the one in the US will not exactly come as a shocker.

Similar to the global turnover, the sci-fi action sequel dominating the most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week is the Alan Ritchson and Dennis Quaid-starrer, War Machine.

The star-studded movie debuted on the global charts with a whopping 39.3million views, becoming the number one movie in 83 countries, including the US, Argentina, the Bahamas, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador, among others.

For those still unaware, War Machine is set during the final stage of US Army Ranger selection when the rigorous training exercise evolves into a do-or-die fight for survival against an impossible threat launched from outer space.

Following the punch-fest of a film on the most popular movies chart is Jurassic World Rebirth, which is again no surprise, considering the entire franchise is storming the global and US charts. So, the more you scroll down, the more you’re likely to find other titles from the movie series.

Meanwhile, succeeding the dinosaur movie on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US is the Dave Bautista action thriller Trap House. Akin to its global rankings, the movie is clearly making waves Stateside, too. That said, it remains squeezed between two more Jurassic World movies, Jurassic World: Dominion and Jurassic World, rounding out the top five titles for the week.

Actually, make it three since up next we have Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, ranked sixth on the most popular movies chart on Netflix US, underscoring the action-sci-fi fever that’s ongoing on streaming. But if you think the action frenzy is lost here, think again.

On the seventh, the 2016 biographical disaster film, Deepwater Horizon, is trending, keeping the momentum of action thrillers alive. However, a clear shift in the cinematic mood board is at play from here onwards.

Succeeding Deepwater Horizon on the most popular movies chart are back-to-back animated titles: Trolls and KPop Demon Hunters. Lastly, wrapping up the chart for this week is Tyler Perry’s road comedy movie, Joe’s College Road Trip, and with that, we’re officially done for the week.
