Forgotten superhero adventure with a “The Last of Us” star is suddenly one of the 10 most successful films on Netflix

The superhero adventure “We Can Be Heroes” with “The Last of Us” star Pedro Pascal suddenly made it into the top ranking of the most successful English films on Netflix.

Netflix regularly publishes viewership figures for series and films on its platform and creates rankings with the top titles in the overview.

Recently there was a change in the metric, in which not only the hours viewed are important for the ranking, but also the running time is taken into account as a factor. In addition, the measurement time for the success of a title was increased from 28 days to 91 days.

After these changes, a family film suddenly made it The Last of Us-Star Pedro Pascal on one of the top spots.
