Welcome to your weekly rundown of the most significant stories from Netflix’s leading 10 per hour figures drop for the week ending July 30th, 2023.

Titles covered consist of Happiness for Beginners, Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, D.P. season 2, Sintonia season 4, Baki Hanma, The Tailor volume 2, and Survival of the Thickest.
This report is based upon the Netflix leading 10 per hour information figures that Netflix releases. Every Tuesday, Netflix updates its top 10 stats page with 40 brand-new per hour figures of the leading films and programs of the previous 7 days.
Note: In this report of Netflix’s hours saw from July 24th, 2023 to July 30th, 2023, we’ll utilize “Complete Viewings Equivalent,” or CVE, revealed in millions. That indicates we divide the hours saw revealed by Netflix by the runtime of movies or series. It permits much better contrasts in between movies and series, however it’s not an audience metric. It is the minimum variety of watchings if they were all total from the very first 2nd to the last of the movie or season.
1. Happiness for Beginners lost its method the woods of Netflix’s brochure
A couple of years back, Netflix began what it called “The Summer of Love”, aka its summertime line-up of love movies that did over the years respectable numbers and began trilogies such as The Kissing Booth and “To all the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
But this year, the Summer of Love is more like the summertime of dissatisfactions as no love movie line-up this summertime handled break through in the method the abovementioned titles did.
The latest effort is Happiness for Beginners, or more like “Sadness for Ellie Kemper,” which released with 9.3M CVEs, among the worst launches for a love movie launched on a Thursday.
Last year, Wedding Season with a fairly unidentified cast, gone for this time of year to 11.5M CVEs, which looks like a multitude now in hindsight.
2. Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir is off to an amazing start.
With 12.2M CVEs over its very first week-end, Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir is the 4th launch for a Netflix animated movie however there’s a catch: it is not a Netflix Original movie all over worldwide, like movies such as The Sea Beast or Vivo.
Instead, it was launched theatrically in some parts of the world (primarily in Europe and in my native France), while Netflix launched it all over else. So its numbers are not worldwide ones however with less areas than the other Netflix movies in the charts, that makes this start even more outstanding.

German dystopian thriller Paradise about individuals purchasing the right to be young permanently, released with 8.2M CVEs over its very first 4 days, making it the fourth-best launch for a European movie launched on a Thursday.
Quite a good start and we’ll see how it will age.
4. Returning global series are doing excellent, thank you.
July was the month of frustrating returning United States series, with The Witcher, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Sweet Magnolias revealing indications of decay with their brand-new seasons.
Last week, a handful of global series returned and they’re off to a fantastic start. The Brazilian series Sintonia, for example, did a much better launch with season 4 than with season 3 and season 2.
Over in Asia, season 2 of the Japanese anime series Baki Hanma wiped out the launch variety of its very first season.
The exact same thing occurred with the South-Korean series D.P. with a wonderful launch that enhanced the launch of its very first season by 65%.
Less outstanding is the launch of season 2 of the Turkish series The Tailor, however it’s just a minor decay from the launch of its very first season a couple of months back.
It’s worth keeping in mind that it’s the very first time considering that the modification of the Top 10’s approach by Netflix that the cumulative variety of views for the global series Top 10 is greater than the cumulative variety of views for the English series Top 10. Sure, we just have a couple of weeks’ worth of contrasts, however it reveals that the English series either underperformed recently or the global series overperformed. We’ll watch on that!
5. A check-in on Survival of the Thickest

Some of you (not all of you) might be questioning, “How is “Survival of the Thickest doing?”, the latest brand-new United States series from Netflix? Well, 3 weeks in, the series is holding quite well, however its numbers are no place near they need to be to secure a quick renewal, with just 8.6M CVEs after 2 week, among the most affordable launches for a brand-new United States series launched over the previous 2 years.
As you can see, the series is surrounded by series that was rapidly canceled, however renewal is possible too. Other aspects enter play, and as we saw with Mo, for example (which did not even chart for its very first week and got renewed), there’s still a slim possibility of renewal.
