Red Notice spent its third straight week atop the viewership charts for Netflix, becoming the most-watched film in the platform’s history. The Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot action comedy reigned for the third week since its debut with 48.85 million hours viewed for the week ending November 28th.

The new tally brings the film definitively above the previous champion, Bird Box for the #1 Netflix film of all-time. Red Notice has now logged a total of 328.8 million hours viewed on the service in its first 18 days of release, compared to 282.02 million hours viewed for Bird Box in its first 28. We can absolutely expect a sequel to this coming at this point.

Elsewhere in this week’s top 10 English films, the Halle Berry-directed and starring sports drama Bruised debuted at #2. The film, which stars Berry as a disgraced MMA fighter, garnered 47.7 million hours viewed. It was followed by a pair of holiday movies in A Boy Called Christmas and A Castle For Christmas, which logged 26.82 million and 20.87 million hours respectively in their first weeks. The Rock’s Central Intelligence spent a second week in the top 10 at #9 with 10.52 million hours thanks to continued strength in international viewing.

Meanwhile, the non-English film category was led by Spoiled Brats. The French comedy about three spoiled siblings who have to earn their livings after their father pretends he’s lost everything debuted with 15.83 million hours. It was followed by the Spanish drama Outlaws, which scored 8.73 million hours in its first week. Last week’s #1, the Brazilian film Just Short of Perfect, fell two spots to #3.

The English TV shows chart was led by Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes’ new limited series True Story. The drama charted 48.85 million hours viewed, followed by Cowboy Bebop which rose from #6 last week to #2 with 36.95 million (up from 21.63 million last week). Season four of Selling Sunset was #3 with 33.08 million hours, while last week’s #1 Arcane came in at #4 with 29.66 million hours.

Finally, non-English TV shows saw The Queen of Flow rise a spot to #1 in its second week with 69.03 million hours viewed. That was enough to edge out last week’s #1, the South Korean horror series Hellbound season one, which had 67.52 million. Squid Game season 1 was #3 in its eleventh week with 25.73 million hours.
