The most popular movies chart on Netflix US this week is basically like looking at our own watchlists. In one way or another, it can also be considered a mini replica of the cinematic trends captivating people worldwide.

Starting from the chart-topper, we have, drum rolls please, Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited passion project, Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. Since the title also sits at the summit of the global rankings, perhaps its reign in the US is no surprise, given that it is the number one movie in 79 countries at the moment.

Similar to the global most popular chart, the second position belongs to the holiday rom-com that has clearly grabbed every eye, A Merry Little Ex-Mas, which is again followed by Maggie Kang’s record-breaking animated flick, KPop Demon Hunters.

In the fourth spot, we have the new Netflix documentary, Being Eddie, setting the trends straight everywhere. However, by now, you must have definitely understood why we referred to the most popular movie chart in America as a mini replica of the global one. While the first four movies on the chart might be deemed copycats, regional charts are not without their shuffles.

So, instead of In Your Dreams bagging the fifth position, it’s Liam Neeson’s power-packed action drama, The Marksman, spreading its magic. Although the movie also sneaked into the global charts, in the US, it enjoys a far more reassuring position comparatively.

But if you think the animated movie fell out of the race, scroll a bit down and you can find the same on the seventh. As for what’s in between, well, another Christmas rom-com can be found sandwiched between the old and new fan-favourites, No Sleep ‘Til Christmas, which was recently added to the US library by the platform.

Then onwards, the cinematic scenery completely changes, making the most popular movies chart in the US unique in its own way. While the trend of thrillers may have subsided in contrast to the previous weeks, a good action film never goes out of style, as is evident with the rise of Wanted Man to number eight.

And considering the holiday season is upon us, it also doesn’t make sense without a bit of liquid courage and lots of chaos, which The Hangover brings on its coattails on the ninth.

Lastly, like we all know, Christmas is nothing without a comedic punch that hits hard. The Netflix US users have already found their pick of the season, and we have to say, it just doesn’t disappoint as Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas enters the most popular movies chart, wrapping up the trends for this week.
