“Unknown Number: The High School Catfish” has claimed the top spot on Netflix’s global movie rankings released Tuesday, jumping from the number three spot the previous week.
“Vulgar, taunting texts blow up the phones of a teen and her boyfriend. Who’s sending them — and why? This twisty documentary reveals the shocking answer,” according to the Netflix description.
This is Unknown Number’s second week in the top 10, Netflix said.
The documentary-style film leads with an impressive 26.3 million views, outpacing the second-ranked “KPop Demon Hunters,” which had 25.4 million views. The movie occupied the top spot the previous week.
The animated film about K-pop performers battling supernatural forces continues to maintain strong audience interest with 12 weeks in the top 10 list.
“The Thursday Murder Club” rounds out the top three, drawing 18.7 million views with its star-studded cast. The film, which features notable actors, has quickly established itself as a must-watch title on the streaming platform.
The top 10 list includes some older favorites like “Good Will Hunting,” along with family friendly movies often on repeat like “Shrek” series and “Paw Patrol: The Move.”
