Sunday’s edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list in the United States shows Godzilla Minus One as one of the most popular films on the entire service.
Just one day after being added to Netflix’s lineup, Godzilla Minus One has taken over the fourth overall spot on Netflix’s movie charts. The film soared past recent addition hits like Shrek, Madame Web, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie to lock in its position. And it wouldn’t be too surprising to see Godzilla Minus One climb even higher in the coming days.
