Apex holds Netflix’s #1 spot for week two with 40.2M views. Charlize Theron stars in this survival thriller as a climber hunted in the Australian bush.

AceShowbiz - Apex continues to dominate Netflix’s Top 10 chart, holding the No. 1 spot for a second consecutive week with a total of 40.2 million views, according to the streaming service’s Tuesday report. This figure marks a rise from its opening week, when the survival thriller drew 38.2 million views and led charts across 82 countries.

Directed by Baltasar Kormákur and produced by Chernin Entertainment, Apex stars Charlize Theron as a mountain climber who seeks solitude in the Australian wilderness. However, her retreat quickly transforms into a perilous chase as a local man, played by Taron Egerton, pursues her as part of a ritualistic hunt in the remote bush.

Adding to the film’s cultural footprint, the track "Go" by the Chemical Brothers featuring Q-Tip has gained viral momentum. The song features in a scene where Egerton’s character dances, spawning a popular TikTok trend. It currently ranks as the No. 1 song on Shazam and is climbing the Spotify Viral50 chart.

Elsewhere in Netflix’s Top 10, the animated feature Swapped, produced by Netflix and Skydance Animation and starring Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple, secured the No. 2 position with 15.5 million views. Netflix’s animated movies typically sustain strong viewership across their release periods. For example, last year’s KPop Demon Hunters started with 9.2 million viewers in its first week before breaking multiple streaming records.

The ongoing success of Apex highlights Netflix’s ability to maintain strong engagement with original films, while the viral popularity of its soundtrack contributes to the movie’s broader cultural impact. Both factors underline the platform’s expanding influence in the competitive streaming marketplace.
