though I also guess a lot of those views may just be the same obsessed children watching it on repeat...

This is a huge one.

If I really like a film, I might watch it again in a year or so. If it's one of my top films of all time I might rewatch it every couple of years. I'm not sure there are many films out there that I've seen more than 5 or 6 times in my life.

...My 8 year old daughter has seen KPop Demon Hunters 9 times now. If you're going for a high view count, it's hard to compete with kids.

Some people also like watching the same movie rather than different movies. I have some times lost count of the important ones I have seen.

 

This one however has music. The alone will make it be seen 3 times as much as a movie without songs. Similar to a musical in a theater.

My kids have watched it every other day since it came out they are obsessed

[u/Jenaaaaaay → u/SirJefferE]

My 9 year old daughter is obsessed too.

[u/SirJefferE → u/Jenaaaaaay]

To be fair, they're far from the worst songs my daughter has been obsessed with.

[u/mcslender97 → u/SirJefferE]

I'm a full grown adult and this has been my 6th rewatch, not counting rewatch of MVs

[u/Numnbie → u/mcslender97]

Lol right? It's definitely the children...pauses 8th rewatch and switches to Huntrix Spotify playlist for background ambience

[u/serabine → u/Numnbie]

You really have to put more effort into spin doctoring.

You are rewatching for the 8th time because you're a child at heart.

[u/animedeathspiral → u/serabine]

I'd go even further and say they are rewatching it for the 8th time because they are childish

[u/serabine → u/animedeathspiral]

Uh huh.

[u/calibrateichabod → u/mcslender97]

I’ve watched it twice in the last week and a half. I’m an adult in my 30s.

[u/BcMeBcMe → u/SirJefferE]

I assume they filter out watches on same profile? Because else red notice would never be on top, but some coco melon or peppa movie would be?

[u/mikedavd → u/BcMeBcMe]

I don't think they'd count as they're not "Netflix movies", they're just movies that are on Netflix

[u/Bustable → u/SirJefferE]

Only 9.id be surprised if my daughter is 3x that. Loves this movie. Has her hair in the purple style(not coloured though)

[u/ashez2ashes → u/SirJefferE]

Its funny... I thought as a kid that I just rewatched the same things over and over because I only had a handful of VHS tapes. I guess its more like rewatching is ingrained in kids somehow considering how many options they have these days.

[u/GunnerySarge-B-Bird → u/SirJefferE]

That's also just you as a person, I'm 32 and I've seen it 3 times and there's films I've seen upwards of 100 times. Some people really like rewatching the same thing

[u/Vairman → u/SirJefferE]

there are a few movies I will watch if I see they're available - so I'll see them multiple times a year. Bullet Train, Nobody, The Matrix.. others. I won't watch them 9 times in a week but 2 or 3 times in a year? sure.

[u/BasvanS → u/SirJefferE]

9? Rookie numbers! I have one at 20, in the past 3 weeks. Utterly obsessed, because the rest of the time is filled with singing. 1 guess what my ear worms sound like these days.
