“This is an important step forward for Netflix,
the creators we work with and our members,”
Pablo Perez De Rosso, a vice president for content
strategy at Netflix, wrote in a blog post. “People
want to understand what success means in a
streaming world, and these lists offer the clearest
answer to that question in our industry.”
Netflix will publish both English and non-English
rankings, and top-10 lists for more than 90
countries. The company said that it has hired the
accounting firm EY to audit its figures.
At its current rate, “Red Notice” — which received
largely poor reviews from critics — could
become Netflix’s most popular film ever. That
title currently is held by the 2018 Sandra Bullock
thriller “Bird Box,” with 282 million hours viewed.
