The Great Flood Rises to No.1; Wake Up Dead Man Stays on Top for a Second Week
Suspense ruled the Top 10 last week as viewers gravitated toward an intricate mystery and a harrowing survival tale. The Korean disaster film The Great Flood took No. 1 on the non-English film list with 27.9 million views, and Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery held its spot at No. 1 on the English film list for a second week with 20.9 million views. The first film centers on Koo An-na (Kim Da-mi), a mother and artificial intelligence researcher trapped with her son in a high-rise apartment building that’s quickly filling with water as she races to solve a larger mystery at play. In search of another tough case, viewers turned to the latest Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) investigation, in which a small-town priest, Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor), becomes the prime suspect in the seemingly impossible murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin).
KPop Demon Hunters continues to rack up accomplishments: in addition to grabbing the No. 3 spot on the English film list with 7.9 million views, the film has reached another milestone by surpassing 500 million total views since its premiere.
On the English TV list, the Christmas comedy Man vs. Baby, starring Rowan Atkinson, landed at No. 1 with 14.6 million views.
