Under the Seine becomes one of the biggest hits in the history of Netflix

The shark film made in France extends its reign

If it had been foreseen Under the Seine enters the Top 10 in most countries where it is available on Netflix, it is however little surprise that it stays there for so long. In fact, 13 days after its worldwide release, it only occupies a few top positions but remains well installed throughout Top 5with the exception of Denmark and Uruguay (Top 6), and the United States where he is currently Top 7. A phenomenal and lasting performance, which allows him to reach unprecedented heights.

Top 5 of all time for a non-English language film…

Released June 5, 2024, Under the Seine continues to garner views at a dizzying pace. So much that June 16thranks 5th on the Top Netflix list of all time for a non-English language film, ahead of the Spanish box office Through my window and behind The platform, also a Spanish hit. Xavier Gens’ film is currently accumulating 69.6 million EVC (Equivalent to full views). It therefore exceeds AKAaccredited 60.9 million EVCbecoming like this the biggest success of a French Netflix film at its launch. This measurement is calculated over the first 91 days of broadcast, which then leave Under the Seine still many hours of viewing to count, unlike all the other films currently present in this ranking.

And soon the Top 1?

According to estimates from the Netflix & Figures newsletter, Under the Seine could reach the end of its 91 measurement days around 95 – 100 million EVC. But this estimate could be refined in light of her behavior during the third week, which generally marks a very significant change in the audience, as we can see in the graph below. But let’s look at this one Under the Seine did better in the first two weeks than The snow circle AND Non-existent placeand which, if the drop in viewing figures is not too strong, could surpass the goal set by Juan Antonio Bayona’s film with 98.5 million EVC. Or even take the place of Troll, Superior 1 for a non-English film?

With the Paris Olympic Games which will begin on July 26, 2024, and to which Under the Seine will inevitably have resonance, this summer period could revive the interest of subscribers for this film about sharks, and therefore allow him to earn the small millions of EVC that he would need to overcome Troll. It would therefore become the biggest hit in Netflix history for a non-English language film. A monumental performance, and one that would look great on your CV Mr. Octopus !
