    The Jerry Seinfeld-directed comedy Unfrosted took the top spot among Netflix’s weekly English-language film rankings , but with just 11.3 million engagement hours and 7.1 million account views, the star-studded movie had the worst showing for a No. 1 film by the streaming company since it began ranking audience performance by account views in June 2023.

    Despite the lukewarm critical reception ,  the bombing of Seinfeld's directorial debut comes with at least some surprise, just considering the sheer comedy-star power of the film, which casted alongside Seinfeld Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, Jim Gaffigan, John Hamm, Max Greenfield, Dan Levy, Bill Burr and Cedric the Entertainer, just to name a few well-known performers.

    The whimsical, early-60s-set period comedy themed around the creation of Pop-Tarts failed to capitalize on the product-oriented film craze created by titles like Barbie and Air.

    In better news for Netflix, Richard Gadd’s biographical limited series Baby Reindeer continued to hold the No. 1 spot among Netflix’s top 10 English-language series, dropping just slightly in viewership in week 4 to 73.6 million hours streamed and 18.6 million account views.

    For the second week in a row, it was also the most-watched title on Netflix overall.

    Baby Reindeer was chased at No. 2 on Netflix's English-language series charts by the debut of limited series A Man in Full starring Jeff Daniels, which 28,000 viewing hours and 6.3 million account views.

    And hanging on the charts was Guy Ritchie’s spin-off series The Gentlemen , which finished at No. 7 in the rankings in its ninth week, with 11.7 million viewing hours.

    Charting well internationally for Netflix is Spanish crime docudrama The Asunta Case , which more than doubled its viewership last week, with 64.7 million hours viewed and 11.9 million account views.
