Since the movie’s Netflix premiere on July 3, Desperados It has been ranked in the top four positions on the streaming app’s Daily Top 10 rotary list. The film spent its first three days at # 2 before claiming # 1 on July 6 and 7.

Total, Desperados—Which stars Nasim Pedrad and Lamorne Morris— has accumulated 93 points in the month of July (you can read more about Netflix’s point system here). That ranks above all the other movies that have been played on Netflix this month.

Here’s a rundown of the top ten movies on Netflix during the first 13 days of July:

1. Desperados – 93 points
2. Patriots day – 79 points
3. The city – 75 points
4. The Lorax – 61 points
5. Now pronounced by Chuck and Larry – 56 points
6. 365 days – 54 points
7. ONLY – 54 points
8. A thousand words – 42 points
9. The old guard – 40 points
10. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of the Fire Saga – 29 points

Obviously The old guard He’s done a quick job of making it to the top 10 list. But even if the Theron vehicle maintains this pace, it will be difficult to catch it. DesperadosA film that, at first glance, seems to have a long longevity in the Top 10 of Netflix.

In his first four days on Netflix, The old guard He has accumulated 40 points for a daily average of 10, the best a movie can do. But that is not far above OutlawThe first four days average of 9.25.

In his first 11 days on Netflix, Desperados It has an average of 8.45 points per day. That is much better than the project led by Will Ferrell Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of the Fire Saga, which completely dropped out of the Top 10 after 11 days and averaged just 7.18 points per day during that period.

In fact, the only other movie during the month of June that had a better average during its first 11 days was 365 days—A Netflix giant who is breaking records and averaging 9.72 points per day during that 11-day period.

And in May, only two movies had a better 11-day average than Desperados: Extraction (9.27 points per day) and The wrong lady (9.82 points per day).

Then yes: The old guard I could still remove the July title from Desperados. But, as evidenced by these numbers we selected in recent months, Theron’s action film will have to show everything necessary to carry it out.
