Netflix viewers are kinda into “Kinda Pregnant.” The rom-com starring Amy Schumer secured 25.1 million views in its first week, making it the most-watched title on Netflix from Feb. 3 to Feb. 10. Those numbers are especially impressive considering that the movie directed by Tyler Spindel was only released last Wednesday.
Typically, comedies prove to be more localized, but that wasn’t the case with “Kinda Pregnant.” The movie hit Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched lists in 92 countries.
For films in English, Schumer’s latest entry was followed by the Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx action comedy “Back in Action,” which secured 9.2 million views. Surprisingly, the “Shrek” franchise took the third and fourth spots: The first movie netted 7.3 million views during the week in question and was followed by “Shrek 2,” which had 5.5 million views. Ralph Fiennes’ horror comedy “The Menu” then rounded out the list with 4.4 million views.
However, the second most-watched title of the week fell under the category of non-English language movies as Korean drama “Bogotá: City of the Lost” secured 13 million views during its debut week. It was then followed by Mexican drama “Lucca’s World” (9.4 million views), Indian drama “Pushpa 2: The Rule (Reloaded Version)” (3.6 million), Thai horror movie “Death Whisperer 2” and finally Indonesian supernatural thriller “Sumala” (1.8 million).
On the television side of things, non-English language TV had a big week. Swedish series “The Åre Murders” saw 8.8 million views in its first week, becoming the most-watched show of the week. Korean medical drama “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call” came in second place with 5.4 million views, and Mexican drama “Prison Cell 211” came in third with 5.3 million views. Season 5 of Brazilian drama “Sintonia” and German psychological limited series “Cassandra” rounded out the Top 5 with 4.9 million views and 4.2 million views, respectively.
For the seventh consecutive week in a row, “Squid Game” Season 2 made the Top 10 non-English language list. During the week of Feb. 3, the Korean thriller raked in 3.6 million views, bringing its total number of views up to 182.5 million so far.
Last but not least, the English-language TV list was led by Season 2 of “The Night Agent,” which secured 7.5 million views. That was then followed by Season 2 of the Noah Centineo-led “The Recruit” (6.1 million), the docuseries “American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson” (4.5 million), Season 4 of the romance “Sweet Magnolias” (4 million) and Australian limited series “Apple Cider Vinegar” (3.8 million).
