**The documentary 'Animals' led the global movie chart and Netflix posted weekly revenue over $10 million.**

Netflix's weekly performance in the United States and worldwide was dominated by two titles. The limited series 'Below: limited Series' claimed the number-one spot on the U.S. Show chart for the week ending October 12. At the same time, the documentary 'Animals' secured the top position on the global movie ranking. The platform also reported weekly revenue exceeding $10 million.

'Below: limited Series' outperformed other contenders such as 'East of Eden', 'The Great British Baking Show: Collection 14' and 'Monster: the Lizzie Borden Story: season 1' to reach the summit of the U.S. chart. The series' strong viewership drove its ascent, placing it ahead of the competing titles. Its ranking was confirmed on Tuesday, October 13.

The documentary 'Animals' captured the global audience, overtaking 'Doing Life' to become the leading film on Netflix's worldwide chart. Its popularity was reflected in streaming numbers across multiple regions.

Financial data released on Friday, October 16, showed Netflix generated more than $10 million in revenue for the week ending October 12. This figure placed the company above the $10 million threshold for the period. The revenue outcome complemented the strong performance of its content.

## Analysis

Strong Show rankings can boost subscriber engagement, while a globally popular film expands the platform's appeal across regions.

'Animals' reaching the top of the global movie chart indicates that documentary-style programming can compete with scripted releases for audience attention. This may encourage the streamer to invest further in nonfiction titles that have broad international resonance.

Clearing $10 million in weekly revenue confirms that the recent content performance translated into measurable financial results. However, without comparison to prior weeks or broader financial metrics, the significance of this figure for Netflix's overall profitability remains uncertain.
