Ladies First leads with 18.8 million views, while The Crash follows at 14 million views, continuing a surge in viewership for both titles on the netflix top movies right now list.
Ladies First, starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike, released on May 22 and has become one of the standout hits of 2026. The comedy follows a chauvinist advertising executive who wakes up in a parallel world where women dominate society and gender roles are completely reversed. The film pulled 11.7 million views in its debut week before surging to 27.6 million views in its second week, an unusually strong increase for a major streaming release.
The Crash, a true-crime documentary, revisits a devastating 2022 car accident involving a teen driver that killed two passengers. The documentary has maintained strong momentum, earning its position as the second-most-watched movie on Netflix globally and sparking widespread conversation about the case it explores.
