Netflix animated features have mostly struggled to hit the streamer’s global Top 10 list this year, but with Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, that trend has finally been reversed.
Despite not featuring the name recognition of Henry Selick and Jordan Peele’s Wendell & Wild, Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon from Cartoon Saloon, or Richard Linklater’s Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, Scrooge was able to accomplish what none of those films could do by cracking the list.
The film, which launched December 2 on the platform, debuted in the #9 spot of the streamer’s weekly global English-language films list (Nov. 28-Dec. 4) with 8.17 million hours of viewing time. Scrooge made the weekly Top 10 in six individual territories, though they’re not the ones we might’ve expected: Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
