It's another hit for Benoit Blanc.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story has become the third most-watched Netflix original film within 10 days of release. The film premiered on the platform on 23 December and is the much-anticipated sequel to Rian Johnson’s critically-acclaimed 2019 murder mystery Knives Out. Just like with the first installment, Johnson wrote and directed Glass Onion, which sees Daniel Craig return as master detective Benoit Blanc as he takes on a brand new case, this time revolving around tech millionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) and his closest friends.

Blanc is invited to Bron's Greek island to play a murder mystery game, where he meets all of the millionaire's pretty unlikeable mates. [caption id="attachment_372755" align="alignnone" width="1138"]

After only 10 days since its release, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story has managed to rack up an incredible 209.4 million hours watched. This puts it ahead of previous Netflix original hit films such as The Grey Man and Bird Box. The only films sitting ahead of Glass Onion now are Don't Look Up and Red Notice. Satirical disaster film Don't Look Up is number two in Netflix's Most Popular Films chart. The film was released in December 2021 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep. Directed by Adam McKay, it garnered 359.8 million hours viewed within its first 28 days on the streaming platform.

The number one film is Red Notice, which was also released in 2021 and starred Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. The action comedy holds the record for being the platform's most-watched English language film with 364 million hours viewed in its first month.
