Korean film 'The Great Flood' has solidified its top spot on Netflix as it continues its global box office momentum.
According to global OTT ranking site FlixPatrol on the 28th, 'The Great Flood' ranked No. 1 on the Netflix global movies chart as of the previous day, the 27th. It has remained No. 1 globally for eight consecutive days since its release.
Particularly notable is its performance in North America. 'The Great Flood' has held the No. 1 spot in the U.S. Netflix movies institutional sector steadily from immediately after its release, earning the choice of local viewers. It is considered an unusual achievement for a Korean film to remain at the top for a long period in the North American market, where disaster films are highly favored.
Its performance by country is also eye-catching. 'The Great Flood' ranked No. 1 in a total of 53 countries including Korea, and appeared in the Netflix top 10 in 93 countries, proving its broad global box office appeal. It is significant that it is not just a brief early success but is maintaining stable positions at the top of the charts.
'The Great Flood' is an SF disaster blockbuster that depicts the battle for humanity's survival inside an apartment sinking under water on the last day the flood struck the Earth. Director Kim Byung-woo, who directed 'The Terror Live' and 'PMC: The Bunker,' took the megaphone, and Kim Da-mi·Park Hae-soo·Kwon Eunseong and others appeared.
Domestically, opinions are divided over the development and genre interpretation, but in the global market it is delivering clear results in viewing metrics. 'The Great Flood,' which combines a universal disaster genre with a Korean-style narrative, is drawing attention on how far it will continue to break records.
