Netflix says Murder Mystery was its most 'popular' 2019 release
When many people think of Netflix in 2019, especially during awards season, they probably think of movies like– prestigious titles with inescapable "for your consideration" ads, ecstatic reviews and social media chatter.
For its New Year's top 10 lists, Netflix calculated popularity based on how many people watched at least two minutes of a piece of content in its first 28 days of release, according to a person familiar with the methodology.episode because it was featured on the homepage and got about as far as the opening credits, that counts for Netflix's popularity roundup. Think how YouTube counts views based on how many people start watching a video, not by how many finish.
This is different from how Netflix generally determines viewership. With its movies, for example, it's a view if the person gets through 70 per cent of the run time. Netflix earlier this year said 73 million households watchedwas watched by more than 26.4 million households in its first week. So Netflix's latest rankings don't provide a reliable measure of success for its programming. But caveats aside, the list provides some interesting factoids, other than the ascendance ofis second on the popularity index for its third season on Netflix, according to the company. Third place goes to another Netflix original, the Michael Bay action filmHowever, in fourth place sits Pixar's, which was released by its now biggest rival, Walt Disney Co.
