After bowing on the platform last week, the Netflix and Chernin thriller The Last House has landed at No. 1 on the Netflix Top 10 movie list with 27.5 million views. That number comes as the year’s fifth best opening for a Netflix original movie; Chernin now has two of the top original films this year on the platform, with Apex opening with 38.2 million views in April.
Starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura and directed by Louis Leterrier, The Last House follows a family of four who are suddenly sealed inside their home with no way out, and must work together to survive against both their dwindling resources and the mysterious, looming threat keeping them trapped.
