Netflix pulled off a three-peat with the strong debut of “The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die,” the new movie that serves as the coda to the popular British historical fiction TV series, topping Whip Media’s movie ranker, which looks at the most-streamed movies in the U.S. over the past weekend, using viewership data from TV Time, its TV and movie tracking app with more than 25 million global registered users.
If you’re unfamiliar, “The Last Kingdom” series followed the uneasy and often violent relationship between the Anglo-Saxons and Viking invaders in ninth-century England. “Seven Kings Must Die” picks up where the series left off, with rival clans and invaders battling for the crown following the death of King Edward.
