Netflix’s ‘The Last House’ Reaches No. 1 on Top 10 After Opening Weekend, Netflix Figures Show
Chernin’s thriller “The Last House” takes the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s Top Ten list after landing with 27.1 million views over its opening window, Deadline reports.
Netflix’s thriller “The Last House” has landed at number one on the Netflix Top Ten list following its opening weekend, according to figures cited by Deadline. The film posted 27.1 million views after debuting on the platform the previous week, a performance Deadline described as the fifth-best opening for a Netflix original movie in 2026.
Deadline reported that the title had previously bowed on Netflix last week, and that its move to the top position came after the opening weekend view count was tallied. The report places “The Last House” at No. 1 on Netflix’s Top Ten, based on the platform’s view metric for the title’s early run.
The film is produced under Chernin Entertainment, which Deadline said now has two of the top original films to land on Netflix’s Top Ten in the period it described. Deadline did not provide additional details in its brief, such as the release date, running time, or the specific countries that make up the view count.
In the Netflix Top Ten system, “views” generally refer to the amount of viewing time credited toward a title for the reporting window. Deadline’s account focused on the opening weekend total of 27.1 million views and the resulting No. 1 ranking, without breaking out whether the performance was driven by the U.S., international markets, or a particular segment of the platform’s audience.
Deadline’s report also characterized the opening-weekend performance as a strong debut relative to other Netflix original movies released in 2026, noting it as the fifth-best opening for a Netflix original film in that calendar year. The outlet’s framing indicates that the ranking is drawn from Netflix and industry tracking that compare view totals across Netflix original releases.
Neither Netflix nor Chernin Entertainment is quoted in the Deadline summary provided here, and Deadline did not lay out any additional production or distribution particulars beyond attributing the ranking and view total to the Netflix Top Ten reporting. As a result, viewers will likely need Netflix’s official Top Ten dashboard or further platform communications for deeper breakdowns tied to the exact dates and view geography.
For stakeholders across the film’s distribution ecosystem, the No. 1 placement can affect how quickly attention builds for subsequent weeks, including whether other titles are displaced on the Top Ten list. The next milestone for “The Last House” will be its ongoing weekly movement on the Netflix Top Ten charts, which are updated as Netflix publishes new reporting windows and as audience viewing continues to accumulate.
