The tsunami Under the Seine
Can it do it? Will this film, as criticized as expected, become the biggest hit in Netflix history for a non-English film? Although it has not yet reached its first 91 days of broadcast, after which official measurements will stop, Under the Seine Xavier Gens’s The Last Jedi is no longer far from becoming Netflix’s most-watched non-English language film on the platform.

A historic performance for a French film, given that it is in this Top 10 Only French cinema countsAKAaction thriller starring Alban Lenoir which ranks 6th with 60.9 million EVC.
Under the Seine he has therefore ignored the criticisms, mostly murderous, that accompanied his appearance on the platform. In question, a more than dubious scientific credibility, exaggerated interpretations of an otherwise talented casting, the lack of choice among the survival appearance and horrible comedy, all in a mix of inconsistencies and caricatures… But, ultimately, nothing that has captured the attention of the world audience, passionate about this story of sharks that settle in the Seine and terrorize the capital. It is therefore still one of the most viewed non-English films, currently on the market 7th place in the World Weekly Top 10.

There are still a good number of days to go Under the Seinewent live in early June, to accumulate just over 3 million EVC and surpass it Trollto become Top 1. So answer in early September.
