 2. 6 Underground – 83 Million Views

Michael Bay may not be the apple of everyone’s eye at the moment. But as long as he keeps delivering movies that cash out the big bucks, he does not have to be. Transformers: The Last Knight has been universally panned by friend and foe alike. And yet the movie grossed a total of around 600 Million US Dollars at the Box Office against a production budget of 130 Million US Dollars. Even at his worst, Michael Bay delivers splendidly. He is like the Adam Sandler of Directing.

His first Netflix project – 6 underground stars acting heavyweights like Ryan Reynolds, Melanie Laurent, Corey Hawkins, Adriana Arjona, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Dave Franco! 6 Underground is basically about 6 people that are extremely skilled in their respective domains like espionage, firearms, hacking, technology, etc. that come together to take down a brutal regime headed by a ruthless dictator who is terrorizing an entire nation.

 3. Bird Box – 80 Million Views

Most Watched Titles in Netflix

Susanne Bier directs this Post-Apocalyptic Horror movie that has Sandra Bullock plays the protagonist Malorie Hayes. When Bird Box was first announced, everybody thought that it will just be a cheap knock off of Netflix’s other movie project The Quiet Place. But Bird Box managed to carve its own niche. Sandra Bullock delivers a splendid performance as a vulnerable and yet too tough to crack mother who has to take her children to safety in a world where humanity has died and the entire planet is now home to a ravenous group of mysterious entities that can kill anyone just by the victim looking at them. No one knows what they are and how they got here. Bird Box’s ending was underwhelming and nothing like the source material. But it still got a lot of viewer-ships.

 4. Murder Mystery – 73 Million Views

Anything that has Adam Sandler in it is worth a watch. There we said it and we are not ashamed to admit it. Adam Sandler makes amazing movies. He is like a guilty pleasure we all want to enjoy on-screen. Despite his movies almost always being panned by critics, Sandler has found his calling with his fans.
