From the beginning, Netflix has been notoriously secretive about how many people are actually watching their original programming. As time went on and the company became more successful, the pressure was on for accurate numbers on actual viewership. Netflix had begun to give numbers a few years ago although with select viewership data that features a questionable metric for what counts as a view; any subscriber who watches any programming for at least two minutes is an official viewer.
After focusing on original programming, the streaming company has never spared any expense when acquiring or producing their films. And with Netflix doing extremely well due to the ongoing pandemic (with currently 183 million global subscribers), they are being even more aggressive with spending money on their productions. Netflix has just announced they will commit to spending 200 million dollars (the most ever by them on a film production) on an upcoming action-adventure called "The Gray Man" by "The Avengers" directors, Joe & Anthony Russo and will star Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.
Netflix has just released the ranking of their top-ten original movies on their site and how many views per film. What I find most interesting about this collection is that they are all from the last three years which makes one wonder how many of their older films found a significant audience.

"Bird Box" (2018) 89 Million views
