Netflix released a copious amount of movies in 2023, many of which managed to strike a chord with viewers. A title that hit later in the year was Leave the World Behind – a book-to-screen adaptation directed by Sam Esmail and led by Julia Roberts. Upon its streaming release in November, many seemed to be buzzing about the post-apocalyptic flick on social media. Well, it would now appear that a number of people did watch it and are continuing to do so. That’s evidenced by the fact that the movie just hit a massive milestone for the streaming company that released it.
When it comes to streaming data, entertainment companies can be incredibly cagey. Specific figures are usually just given when a title manages to hit a serious benchmark. On that note, Netflix confirmed on X that Leave the World Behind has reached the No. 8 spot on its list of Most Popular English Films List, as it’s notched 136.3 million views. To say that this is an impressive accomplishment would be an understatement, and that’s not all. Deadline reports that the psychological thriller could very well move up one slot very soon.
