It’s announced that a highly popular movie will be departing from Netflix soon. The streaming service frequently highlights the viewership data of their original productions, especially when titles like “KPop Demon Hunters ” become massive hits and dominate headlines. After all, Netflix is known for its successes: if something performs well, particularly Originals, it typically leads to sequels or additional seasons, based on the data provided by their algorithm. However, what happens when a title that has been incredibly successful on Netflix isn’t actually owned by them? Simple – they eventually lose the rights to it.
The top-watched Netflix movie over the past two years, as per their own “What We Watched” data, is surprisingly “The Boss Baby.” Released in 2023, this animated film featuring Alec Baldwin, about a baby secretly working as a spy, has garnered over 220 million views. Sadly for parents whose Netflix accounts have been taken over by children rewatching the movie on loop, it will be leaving the platform on August 22. For many Netflix users, this may not seem significant, but “The Boss Baby” has consistently held a strong position in the Top 10 Netflix movies for the past two years, and there’s good reason for that.

So, Why Is Boss Baby So Popular?
Essentially, animation plays a significant role in Netflix’s revenue generation, leading them to invest heavily in shows like CocoMelon, which they licensed for their platform recently. This series appeals particularly to young audiences due to its straightforward and engaging concept that incorporates humor suitable for adults, while maintaining a strong focus on the age group most likely to watch and rewatch it, resulting in vast hours of viewership. It’s a lighthearted, playful, and enduring show that doesn’t require much intellectual effort from viewers, which is essential for its target demographic.
In the last two years, The Boss Baby movies have accumulated an impressive 327 million views, not counting the TV series spinoff “Back in Business.” Interestingly, the top 10 films of that period are largely dominated by animation. The second most-viewed movie is The Super Mario Bros. Movie with 209 million views, followed closely by Adam Sandler’s Leo with 207 million views.
Apart from the top 3, namely Minions, Sing!, and Dr Seuss’ The Grinch, together accumulate over 530 million views, which is an enormous amount of watch time. Interestingly, only Leo is a Netflix original series. This fact could be one reason for Netflix’s excitement about the impressive success of K-Pop Demon Hunters, now ranked as the second most watched Netflix original ever, according to Tudum. However, it still has some distance to go before surpassing The Boss Baby in terms of viewership.
