These ten movies have dominated more than any other this summer on Netflix.
On February 27, Netflix NFLX premiered its brand new Top 10 feature. That daily-updated list provides insight into which movies are performing the best on the streaming platforms—and which ones are duds. Because it’s so difficult to obtain performance numbers in the streaming realm, the Top 10 became our first real glimpse into how Netflix chooses which films will populate its digital library. Because the coronavirus has closed down the theaters, the very definition of “summer movies” has changed. And thanks to the Top 10 feature, the world’s most popular streaming platform is now providing a better of idea of which movies truly dominate the summer season outside the box office. The summer months take place between June 20 and September 20. And with the season about half over, I thought it’d be fun to look back and see which films have dominated the Top 10 the most. So here they are: the ten most popular movies on Netflix (so far) this summer season. Note: you can read more about the Netflix point system here. Feel the Beat could never quite muster a #1 showing on the Top 10. Heck, the show only achieved the #2 position one time. But thanks to 12 appearances on the Top 10 in June and two more in August, the dance movie was able to rank ahead of just about every other show that appeared on the Top 10 this summer. On the 2020 rankings, Feel the Beat comes in at 23rd place. The Nut Job would only make 14 appearances on the Top 10 between June and July.
