2020 may have been a difficult year for the movie industry, with cinemas closed around the world and the big blockbusters indefinitely postponed. Netflix, however, filled in the gap with an extensive catalog, including everything from future Christmas classics to some very NSFW fare – which was fine, as many were working from home anyway.
Though the majority of Netflix movies likely got a boost from global lockdowns, some movies did particularly well this year. The 25 most-watched movies this year (according to data from streaming statistics aggregator FlixPatrol and Netflix's own daily top 10 charts) included everything from Korean zombie films to true crime to movies starring genuine a-list actors like Charlize Theron, Jamie Foxx, Tom Holland and Kurt Russell.
