Netflix said on Monday that science fiction series “Stranger Things” came in second, followed by the Michael Bay action movie “6 Underground.” The animated movie “Incredibles 2” and Martin Scorsese’s gangster film “The Irishman” took the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
British royal series “The Crown,” whose first two seasons cost a reported US$130 million to make, did not appear in the top 10 list for either the US or the UK or Canada despite having won major awards, including for its leading actors. Season 3 was released in November and Netflix did not supply any viewing data.
Executives at Netflix have said they plan to be more transparent with audience data to satisfy Hollywood producers and stars and to help viewers decide what to watch.
