Hardly anyone expected this before the launch: ‘Troll’ from ‘Tomb Raider’ director Roar Uthaug really took off on Netflix in the winter of 2022/2023 and continued to flourish after a record start the most successful non-English Netflix film ever – well before films like ‘All Quiet in the West’ or ‘Blood Red Sky’ from Germany or the Spanish hit ‘Der Schacht’.
With 178.6 million hours watched or 103 million views (Netflix’s new benchmark for success) “Troll” is still #1 on this list today. That’s significantly fewer views than “Tyler Rake: Extraction” and “Tyler Rake: Extraction 2,” which currently rank 9th and 10th among the most successful English-language films with 135 and 134 million views, or even “Red Notice ” (with just under 231 million views at number 1).
