"Under Paris" surfaces as the top non‑English Netflix sensation

As it turned out, the Netflix production somewhat predicted the troubles of the Olympic organisers. Although there were no sharks in the Seine, the men's triathlon scheduled for July 30 had to be postponed due to excessive river pollution that day.

Let's recall that during its premiere weekend, "Under Paris" recorded as many as 40.9 million views worldwide. The French thriller achieved one of the best results in the streaming platform's history, outclassing this year's competition, including much more expensive American productions.

Almost two months have passed since the film's premiere, and "Under Paris" still ranks high on Netflix's list of most popular titles in many countries. Moreover, interest in the film has increased with the start of the Olympic Games in Paris. During the past week, the French production recorded 2 million views and is well on its way to becoming the biggest non-English hit in the platform's history. It is only 8 million views away from the leader from Norway.

1. "Troll" (2022) – 103 million views.

2. "Society of the Snow" (2023) – 98.5 million views.

3. "Under Paris" (2024) – 95.1 million views.
